The electoral system is already vestigial. Would the Heritage freaks dispense with the charade? Maybe, but what would it accomplish? Leaving it in place means you can get Ba'ath party election results (since the courts are compromised to the point that redistricting can only benefit that goal) and get at least another 5 years of libs saying "well, they won fair and square, guess we just have to vote harder" while you govern from the bench unopposed.
Yeah the system is working now, no need to be overt about it, just disguise the disenfranchisement as free and fair elections.
