Top 4 Reasons the 2016 Election Could End in Chaos

Vote with integrity, for integrity.

If the system is inherently flawed, disinformation and misinformation are rampant, both candidates are claiming the other cheated, and we quite possibly might have some sort of illegal interference with the election results, the only right answer on how you should act is the same that it has always been: vote for integrity. Refuse to participate in the lies and political games, the bitter voting against one person and party rather than for the best person. Only vote for a candidate that you think has the integrity to put the Constitution and the country as a whole above their own need to win. Personally, I don’t see that being either of the two major party candidates.

Many people don’t realize that it wasn’t a certainty the United States would have an office called “president” when the founding fathers were debating its creation. Many of them saw an executive position of power, held in a single individual, as a grave threat to the democracy they hoped to create. The only reason why everyone was swayed into trusting that the power of a president would not be abused was because George Washington agreed to be our first president. Washington’s integrity was so well known, his reputation for “never telling a lie” so legendary, that all of the Founding Fathers agreed our fledgling Constitution would be safe in his hands.

Maybe it’s too late for this election, and we are destined to have one of two very corrupt and dishonest individuals as our next President. Or maybe the election will even end with some sort of chaos. But all any of us can do is exactly what we should have been doing from the start, refuse to participate in their corruption and lies, and vote for the person with the greatest integrity over any certain concern for a particular party winning. I know who that is for me, I just ask you to sincerely think about who that person is for you.

The good thing is that no one has voted yet, so there’s still a chance for us all to make the right choice.
