Anyone on that disgraceful effort to undo a lawful, clean election deserves to be defeated in the next election, if necessary in a recall. It's obvious that we have a definitive method of electing a President. That people dislike the results? At least 80% of the electorate of the USA are terribly disappointed with the results of at least one of the two last Presidential elections (assuming that the polarization of the electorate is not an exaggeration).

The efforts to achieve honest elections are so effective that electoral fraud is much more difficult and much easier to detect than it used to be. Both Parties want it that way. Electoral devices and materials are under controls analogous to accounting controls for cash and high-value assets.

The test of democracy is not that elections go the way we want them to go; the test is that we accept results that don't go as we want them to go. If in 2016 you were shocked and dismayed that Michigan went for Trump but accepted that as reality because you could not prove otherwise,  or if in 2020 you were shocked and dismayed that Georgia went against Trump but accepted that as reality because you could not prove otherwise, then you have shown your respect for the validity of elections essential to a working democracy.

This stunt is stupid. It must not go the other way next time, if perhaps the Republican wins and people dispute how Minnesota and New Hampshire went for the Republican, with state officials in D states making a similar challenge.
