It's what led to today so it is relevant, also, the point being that cheating is not limited to one party.
That said, I see it somehow being "fixed" to a degree but for cynical reasons. It seems these things always get fixed just in time for the next election. The lagging unemployment of the 91-93 recession corrected itself just in time for Americans to feel good by 1996 and get Clinton re-elected (though Dole was a pretty weak candidate too).
And in late 1983, news stories were talking just like today about how we are going to have years of high unemployment and suddenly, a year later, unemployment is about 40% lower and we have 7% annual GDP growth, just in time to give Reagan a 2nd term (though I admit that one probably wouldn't have mattered either way.....Mondale was one of the weakest Democratic candidates in history, right down there with McGovern).
