Voting is most definitely not a sham; there are real issues with gerrymandering, but the reality is that power is in fact awarded in the US on the basis of who wins elections.

The latest round of redistricting in Galveston County, a community of 350,000 people, redrew a district in which Black and Hispanic voters together had made up a majority of voters. The redrawn boundaries reduced their combined share of the district’s electorate to 38 percent.

right there in the article

leaders rigged the election to get elected and to keep holding power

voting is a sham

and both parties participate in different ways to keep people from voting

The 12 judges in the majority were all appointed by Republican presidents. Five of the six dissenters were named by Democratic presidents.
