To be clear, the probability of an election being overturned is not 1. It's not even .5. But it's higher than we should ever accept in a democracy and the trend is in the wrong direction.
Not irreversible, but I recognize the feeling of powerlessness against the trend
"alarming local officeholders and opponents who are warning about pro-Trump, 'ends justify the means' candidates taking big roles in running the vote."
Hard not to read article on election official candidates who promote false fraud claims politico.com/news/2021/05/2… in especially ominous terms in light of @drvolts thread over the weekend (though @ZachMontellaro is careful to note constraints on powers of secretaries of state)
Absent fraud, the more prosaic fear is that the chief election official in key states could be campaigning against the legitimacy of the results if their side loses, further undercutting the legitimacy of our democratic system.
