3. Black.Box.Voting
They've been perfecting their techniques over the last couple of cycles, so they won't have to engage in the risky business of illegal purges of voter lists, intimidation, shortchanging dem precincts with inadequate machines (they'll WANT those machines in such precincts), or challenging those who do show up.

Since they've "proved" that exit polls are completely useless in predicting an outcome, and that a 60-40 split on Monday can turn into a 40-60 split on Tuesday, no one will bother to contest the results ever again.

And in a few more cycles, we won't need elections at all, because EVERYONE will agree that they're doing such a good job, they should stay in office forever.
