Because no election is going to be "undone" without the cooperation of the courts. Although the Supreme Court is fine with voter suppression and obstruction, they don't mess with electoral outcomes (well, they did once; they don’t want to do it again). And despite the bluster on January 6th, people like Josh Hawkeye knew they were safely protected from the consequences of their actions, or they’d never have acted in the first place. Same is true for the insurrectionists, who are now dismayed to find there is a legal system which doesn’t look kindly on their actions. Nobody in Congress, IOW, is going to overturn the last election, and no court is, either.For folks continuing to tell themselves the former president’s ongoing false claims the election can be undone are worth ignoring, have a listen to the below: https://t.co/4fB0ANF6zl

Geesh, the concept of ballot security seems to mean nothing there. No state that would allow that kind of handling of ballots and voting equipment should be running elections for hall monitor. The rest of the country has a real interest in elections everywhere being honestly and well run since the people elected in them have national consequences. Since they let state government set congressional districts, there is no reason for someone in states far removed from Arizona to not have their rights to honest government taken into account. States that do this should lose control of their elections. American elections are a scandal, anyway. Elections Canada, back when I studied how they did it, were much more transparent and honest and efficient.
