"Despite the United States' reputation as the freest country in the world, Freedom House gives the U.S. a score of 83/100 — which means the country doesn’t even make the top 50.
While Americans enjoy plenty of basic rights, accusations of government corruption and election fraud, growing economic inequality and controversial policies on immigrants and asylum seekers have dropped the country's ranking.
Freedom House says gerrymandering and voting restrictions have also impinged on the rights of U.S. citizens."
