in part:
Trump’s preoccupation with phantom voting fraud endangers our democracy
....
Mr. Trump is the president-elect. He above all others bears responsibility to safeguard and defend the integrity of the nation’s democratic government. Instead, he illogically attacked the very system that resulted in his victory. For those who hoped that as president-elect he would be slower to take offense than he had been as candidate, and less willing to trade in lies, the tweet came as one more disappointment. Mr. Trump’s overreaction suggests he is not prepared for the responsibilities of the presidency or the scrutiny that comes with it.
The nation, in fact, does have a voting problem, but it is not the imaginary fraud that Mr. Trump conjures. Rather, it is a system that makes it too difficult for citizens to cast their votes. Registration procedures are unnecessarily restrictive. Early voting opportunities are needlessly limited. Lines are way too long. Names are too easily purged from voter rolls. Election equipment lacks paper trails in some states. Yet, if Mr. Trump’s preoccupation with phantom voting fraud is any indication, his administration may spend a lot of time making ballot access worse, not better. The integrity of the country’s democracy would suffer for it.
