President Trump’s campaign claims that they have not been afforded fair access that is guaranteed by Michigan law.

Shouldn't this have been done sooner?

Yeah, like a week ago.

Problem may have just been discovered.

“Shouldn’t this have been done sooner?“

Not necessarily.

Crime can’t always be prevented - society needs to rely also on after-the-fact crime deterrence and mitigation, i.e., detection, prosecution, punishment and reparations.

For example, a cook or food server might poison our food. To what lengths should we go to prevent that? We could only eat at home. We could assign observers to watch every step of our food’s preparation.

But nobody does that - it is just not practical - instead we make laws and impose penalties.

Likewise, I don’t know if it is possible to have representatives of all campaigns monitoring every step of every vote and every tally at every precinct - certainly all reasonable measures should be taken - but beyond that, it should be assumed that crimes will still be committed.

Any reasonable suspicion of voting irregularities need to be thoroughly investigated - and if crimes were committed, harsh penalties should be imposed.
