I vehemently disagree! A flawed process that dilutes our vote and only give us an illusion of a fair election should NOT be respected!
But it's like this: the rules of the game are laid down, including what happens if you think the other side cheated, and how you go about resolving those disputes. Once those rules are in place, when you play the game you have to accept those rules and that process. If you think the the rules about how to resolve accusations of cheating are wrong, the time to challenge them is *before* you play the game. Otherwise, as I said before, anyone at anytime can challenge an election result.
So, if a Democratic candidate lost an election and claimed the process was flawed, etc. - whether it was or not - you would have to accept that, to be consistent, and potentially drag out adjudicating the election long after the Republican candidate was installed into office. That shouldn't be acceptable to you, nor to anyone, because that system is a poor one, for obvious reasons.
And we can bring these issues up before an election, so there is no question of adjudication.
Yes, that is the time to do it, because that's how the rules of the game work. But there is always a potential of adjudication, because any candidate can bring a challenge to the results with no restrictions; that's why Trump had 60+ lawsuits, either by him or on his behalf.
In fact, there are several people currently filing TRO’s in their local counties and states demanding electronic voting machines be removed before the next election.
I support that! (Or, at least always have a paper ballot or paper trail to check the electronics.) But the important point is that the time to do that is NOW, before the next election. Once the rules are in place, you gotta play by them. If you think some rule is a bad idea, change the rule, but do it before the game begins.
You are singing their tune! Our election “process” has already been changed with the use of electronic voting machines, and THIS has been the source of the problem.
See above.
They are not using the system “we” came up with. They are using the system “they” came up with, and it has served them quite well. It is time we stand up against the injustice. We have sat by for far too long, watching as these usurpers have robbed us of our sovereignty.
I encourage you to file a TRO in your county and let them know you are onto their racquet.
Perhaps a good analogy for your point is gerrymandering. That's a system that both parties have used to the disadvantage of the other. I support the end of gerrymandering; I was just reading the other day about a system - was it in Australia or New Zealand? - in which the political parties don't draw district lines, it's a much more objective process.
Again, I think gerrymandering is unfair and undemocratic, but it's the rules of the game. Get the rules changed.
However, and this is going to get us into the weeds, and I'm not going to go there, but it has to be said once: the idea that electronic voting systems in the 2020 election was flawed to the extent that it would have changed some election result has been debunked again and again.
