There are very, very few guardrails for electoral processes even in advanced democracies. What allows the system to work is that people believe in it enough to *want* to work within it. Not elaborate “protections”. Most talk of process security is just concern trolling.

Despite the legitimate distortions present in 2016 (electoral college, gerrymandering), it was a democratic outcome within the game as defined. Much as I detest him, Trump won fairly in 2016. I’m not sure I‘ll be able to say that about any 2020 outcome. https://twitter.com/vgr/status/1294505072865419265?s=21 …https://twitter.com/vgr/status/1294505072865419265 …
