If you view the 2020 elections as a "test run" for Republican subversion of our democratic elections, you'd be right. They've identified the weak points that can be exploited in future elections -- leaning on partisan canvassing boards, damaging the Postal Service's ability to deliver absentee ballots, etc. Holding the Trumpist Republicans at bay this time hinged on a decisive Biden-Harris win, their employing an inept, lunatic legal team and on judges who hewed to election law statutes (which may now be modified by Republican-controlled state legislatures).
We're in for a long struggle with the forces of authoritarianism, enabled by a craven horse- race- obsessed media, for the future of our democratic republic.
