    What happens when a country stops pretending to care about democracy and just lets the billionaires run wild? Look no further than Putin’s Russia — a place where wealth buys protection, loyalty buys power, and corruption isn’t hidden, it’s institutionalized.

It would upend how Americans register to vote, how they cast their ballots, and how their votes are counted.

But then you become the easiest person to hack and to manipulate.
