That's what has struck me a so weird, because the rules of collegiate, Olympic, and professional sports tend to be very strict about cheating and conflicts of interest. Yet usually, when provable cheating occurs, there are penalties but nobody dies. Nobody is made homeless, or sent to war. Yet we wink and nearly every out-of-bounds deception and scheme to frustrate fair and free elections.
