You're on to something that the others are missing. In Republican-run states, voter suppression has been out in the open for decades, targeting especially people of color and young people. Add in the effects of the Citizens United decision (2010) and Shelby County v. Holder (2013), and the picture becomes even clearer. But those effects won't be rectified by holding a new election.

The constitution of USA doesn’t work if elected officials are bought. I prefer the British way of government. Not perfect by any means. But. Holy smokes USA is almost doomed because states elected the likes of McConnell, Collins, Cruz and others for years

You may be right. I don’t know if the election was stolen, or if we have let politicians make it much easier to suppress votes. I wouldn’t doubt that people like Ch(r)ump and fElon WOULD do it, though, and I believe an audit is perfectly reasonable to suggest.

People need to remember, especially now, that local elections matter! We also need to get the Trump sycophants OUT of the house and senate!
