So what about all the so-called Republicans who failed the test and either aided and abetted Trump in his attempts or remained silent?
The Republican Party has disgraced itself beyond all redemption and don't think we're going to forget it.
I'm not assuming it's over yet. Republicans are still throwing lawsuits and appeals against increasingly exasperated courts. The fat lady has yet to sing but hopefully she's warming up.
Clearly our presidential election process needs reform. Allow me to propose the following as an outline.
1. We should eliminate the electoral college and go to a popular vote system.
2. Votes should be counted as part of a common administrative process in all states.
3. If there is a challenge to a state's vote count each campaign should be allowed ONE challenge before the state supreme court. If the suit is lost, then it's over.
4. Administrative errors on the part of election officials should not be a basis for disenfranchising voters such as proposed in Trump's Wisconsin case and Mike Kelly's Pennsylvania case.
5. Once a state certifies its vote totals it's done.
6. Summing up the certified votes should be an administrative process with no objections allowed from congress, the courts or aliens from Alpha Centauri
