What you’re saying is that if Trump had lost, it really would have been because Mexico “hacked the election” (to misuse the phrase). Interesting, and, I believe, true. No one else is saying that. Kudos

Thanks for the kudos. It is important to counter the "Russian hacking" myth by pointing out that the Mexicans used online registration to pose as Americans and influence the election. While the Republicans are busy defending against the "Russian hacking" myth, the Mexicans will continue to register for the next election.
As regards the subject of Russian interference in the politics of other countries, note that in recent decades they have only achieved some level of success when the target is nearby (e.g., Georgia, Estonia, Ukraine). We should thank the Democrats for pointing out the dangers of election meddling by an unfriendly neighbor and take steps to bolster national security. This would include requiring proof of citizenship when registering to vote in a border state (and of course, voter ID).
Shutting down online registration and voiding old registrations should be part of building the wall.
