The GOP (Trump and the US Senate) had four years to correct this. And as far as I know, nothing was done.

Elections are controlled at the state level. As a general rule, Trump and the Senate have no control over elections.

However -- with the current situation -- there may be enough political will to start withholding federal funds from states unless they involve DHS in proper election reform (to include voter ID and many other steps). If the states take it upon themselves to cleanup their elections, then the federal money can start flowing again for their roads, schools, and whatnot.

This wasn't something that could be fixed with a magic wand a few years ago. But Biden's blatant attempt at stealing 2020 may make this sort of reform possible now.

That’s a fair point, and one worth noting. But certainly the federal government can (and should) have a say over how federal elections are conducted.

If a legitimate voter is turned away at a polling place, then all hell will break loose. The Feds will get involved. And rightly so!

But if a legitimate voter‘s vote is cancelled out by a fake vote, no one in power will seem to care all that much. Oh, well. Life goes in.

(Sorry for the rambling rant. None of it is directed against you. I just have a sick feeling that Biden is going to steal this election. And then after he resigns for “health reasons” President Harris will destroy this Republic.)
