      Yascha Mounk Retweeted New York Times Opinion

      In nearly every country, authoritarian populists managed to subvert electoral systems by stacking the electoral commission with loyalists—except here. America's diversity of electoral rules breeds chaos and complexity. It is also the best defense against authoritarian takeover.https://twitter.com/nytopinion/status/1324336187671220224 …

      Seems the problem isn't so much the election itself but reporting and coverage. What about same system but no votes reported until Friday when all votes are reported, state by state. Just like the NCAA tournament or BCS selection Sunday.

      Don't you think it makes the system harder to subvert if we get logs of partial results?

          I have no idea. The counterpoint would be everything could progress the same exact way, just nothing made public until "Selection Friday" or whatever. So logs of results could still be reported to R and D challengers/officials internally, but nothing public till later?

          This is so far outside of my wheelhouse. I'm just trying to think creatively. And my definition of the problem is less the system itself and more the way it's reported. System itself seems to stand up very well against fraud and for accuracy (look at recent recounts, for ex)

          Why not enforce reporting compliance (let's say some sort of federally mandated API) but let states have a say in counting. Radical transparency w/o the fear (real or imagined) of a DC overlord.
