The (theoretical) hope is that the masses are at least competent enough for us to end up with the least idiotic of the bunch winding up in office.

If voting idiots guarantee mostly bad outcomes, why complain about election fraud?

If we are to live in a society built upon rules and systems built to at least make things as fair and rational a possible, then fraud (violation of those rules) cannot be permitted.

In that case, wouldn't fraud (by benevolent intelligence) be an acceptable form of counteracting idiots?

I prefer better education, or changing the system to lessen the ability for the most extreme idiots to negatively influence the system.
