npub1zdp33shl69xr0uq3x8n5gsjykq9upycwh6nqm02c3f6x0frrn0dq42vqv8 (npub1zdp…vqv8) The deeper systemic flaw is that the US allows politicians to run their own elections.
In most other representational democracies, there are independent, non-patisan agencies to regulate and oversee #elections, like Elections Canada or the UK Electoral Commission.
In the U.S., whoever won the last election in a state gets to oversee the next one (at all levels), and that turns out more or less as one would expect when one of the players also acts as referee. 😕
