Almost like there was never an issue with elections.
Right? Ballot boxes set on fire, a former president outright saying he'd punish people who voted against him, his supporters repeatedly declaring Harris voters would pay, decades of gerrymandering to give rich folk more political weight, police stationed around polling locations (proven to deter voters), increasingly mundane daily threats of stochastic terrorism, rightwing-owned mass media pushing Both Sides discourse, increasing documentation requirements, disenfranchising felons, jailing voters for following bad advice from poll workers, magats and other white supremacists threatening people lining up to vote, an intensive blanket campaign to convince people that voting for a black woman means you're not bothered if more Palestinians die, and bomb threats against polling stations on election day.
None of those things were issues they cared about.
