Definitely no modern day electoral system is perfect and just can't be anywhere but if am to compare the electoral system of the US to that of my own country I'll very much appreciate the US system the more in terms of the level of transparency, somewhat fairness in the entire process by the electoral body. Something we are yet to see to experience in democracies like ours.

Sure. The US elections have really matured to a level that you could believe in the electoral process to a certain degree.

Considering that America is seen as the promoters of democracy in the world it's important they stick practically to what they preach to the world. America election is usually one that the entire globe always beam their searchlight on due to its powerful position in the world.

I don't know if there were any form of vote buying or other electoral malpractices in the just concluded election,

There were no form of vote buying if you're referring to the $1m initiative introduced by Elon musk in support for Trump.

it isn't really as alarming and open as it is done in my country. The level at which politicians disrespect the democratic process of electing political officeholders is at the peak. If it was in my country, it would not have been smooth and rancour free like we witnessed the in the United States of America yesterday. Especially as the power was taken from the ruling party and incumbent president to another candidate belonging to an opposition party. Kudos to the electoral officers and the electorates for conducting a free and fair election.

Seems we have similar situations when it comes to general elections in our part's of the world. The orientation is markedly different among our politicians from those of the advanced nations and that's why we will always have elections characterised by violence and all form of electoral malpractice in broad daylight.

When the chairman of the electoral commission is appointed by the sitting president as umpire in the election, results will be compromised and that's why you'll always hardly find incumbent public office holder's like the president in our part's of the world losing any election. I really don't know much about other previous elections before this but I think this just concluded America election is a clear testament of how electoral processes ought to go in modern democratic societies.
