The core issue, I think, is that every election, when the results come out, or the results are delayed, one party, or the other party, tosses their nose in the air and says “Obvious fraud!” Take it back to Bush/Gore or Kennedy/Nixon. It’s an old problem, and it’s clearly getting worse.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have a national election system that was so open and transparent that people really believe that cheating was impossible? And that if an audit were needed, it could be reliable achieved in about 60 minutes?
But neither party wants to take a step in that direction. Which brings us back to that core issue ...
The real political sides are populists vs elitists. The populists do want secure elections. The elitists claim that the populists are just racists who want to rob minorities of the vote.
Virtually all the Democrat party is Elitist, and much of the Republican party is. But there is a growing chunk of the Republican party that is populist.
Florida elections are the model. They’ve been increasingly good since the 2000 debacle.
