They need to do more to safeguard elections.

I think the problem you have is the one I've identified previously. The US lacks a robust trust infrastructure running in parallel to the operational architecture. It needs a body to safeguard the constitution as things are occurring, not merely to interpret it afterwards.

Elections should definitely be handled by the trust infrastructure, headed by a group of non-partisan people whose only interest is election integrity.

Let the sitting president moan, but he should never have a hand on the levers of an election.

BREAKING NEWS

The Justice Department sued Texas over its new voting law, arguing that the Republican-led measure would disenfranchise vulnerable groups.
Thursday, November 4, 2021 6:00 PM EST

The restrictions, signed into law in September, include measures barring election officials from sending unsolicited absentee ballot applications and promoting the use of vote by mail, as well as further limiting the use of drop boxes.

The Justice Department’s lawsuit appears to focus on those restrictions governing what types of help poll workers can offer voters, including translation and other assistance.
