The worst defects of our elections--felon disenfranchisement, post-VRA voter suppression and the Electoral College--are all legal, but liberals are too fixated on the Rule of Law as an absolute good to effectively respond

You knew this, but rejecting the Rule of Law as an absolute good doesn't make you some kind of nihilist, legal or otherwise. From Dred Scott to Nuremberg Codes to today's LWOP for nonviolent offenses, law is often just hideous.

I completely take your point about the rule of law & voter suppression/disenfranchisement. But given how many people think that Russia actually changed vote tallies, I don't think it is a good idea to use "legitimacy" in this other, more narrow sense of the word.

(And, given the quote, I don't think we can credit HRC with making this more nuanced point.)

Ha! Agree on both counts.
