Unless election laws and procedures are reformed, it will become increasingly difficult to strictly observe election rules. Moreover, courts, not voters, decides disputed election results.

This could undermine the effects of elections as a political catharsis. Properly speaking, elections should have a refreshing, purifying effect like a clear day after a storm. But confusion over election results makes it difficult to achieve such effects.
