==Pontificating about elections==

Besides handing out prizes, many of IFES's operatives lecture on how elections should or should not be conducted. The emphasis is on the process or mechanics of elections and not on the nature of the political system.<ref>Achara Ashayagachat, [http://www.bangkokpost.com/News/17Nov2007_news09.php Close monitoring by public urged], Bangkok Post, 17 November 2007.</ref> IFES, an American corporation, is suggesting that money-dominated elections yield corruption and vote rigging. However, the US is the most money-intensive election systems. It is a case of double standards.
