Don't we need to import Democracy, before we can export it?

[The Judged]

If the American people do not have a constitutionally guaranteed right to both vote and have recourse to ensure that their vote is counted accurately and correctly in regular elections for government officials and referendums, then how can Americans be said to live in a Democracy?

Democracy has at its foundation the tenet that the people who are under government rule have supreme authority over their elected public officials.

What supreme authority can Americans be said to have if they are only guaranteed that they can not be denied a vote based on their age, gender, or race, without explicit Constitutional guarantee of a right to vote and to ensure that one's votes are both correctly cast and counted in the election tallies, to begin with?

How can the argument on national voting standards be won, without all Americans of voting age first being Constitutionally guaranteed the right to vote and be sure that their votes are both correctly cast and counted in the election tallies?

How could so many generations of Americans believe that they have such a guaranteed right, if it is not true?

Import Democracy, and then we can decide as a Democratic society whether or not to, when or when not to, or to whom or to whom not to export it.

Then maybe we have a chance to do it ourselves.
