We already know what happens when Russia hacks the system to not only elect a president, but also to meddle in Florida politics as well. We already know who the Russians wanted for their man in the White House and who they did not want as a representative from Florida.

What happens in the next election when China decides that it needs to have a representative in the White House that will have closer ties to them than the love they are getting now? What if a Democrat has close business ties or interests that make him or her a good “investment”? How will Republicans react when intelligence reports come in about meddling and hacking? Will Rudy just denounce them as not reliable?

Until we stop gerrymandering along with voter disenfranchisement, this is the future we may find ourselves in. We will just be a middleman to the powers of the other super powers while we watch them fulfill their dreams without firing a shot in anger.
