<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->ection here are not like India. Indian polling staff are government staff, Here they are from county and not very honest. Street money plays very important role. I think they can beat even Pakistan election corruption. I lost trust.

County is a form of local govt in US. Power is decentralized in US unlike in India where there is more centralization
When it comes to corruption and honesty, US is ranked 20th vs India at 72nd, slightly below Cuba (61) and above Saudi Arabia (79) and Pakistan 139th (based on CPI from transparency international). So a comparison with Pakistan on corruption is meaningless.
Based on my personal experience, corruption at lower rungs/local government in US is almost non-existent while the same can not be said about India.
