@TerryM: I got too heated, and no doubt it all came across as too personal. But please, you asked me to edit my comments, and I said I didn't feel I needed to. Since it was your demand, I'm surprised you turned the meaning on its head. [you used the word revise, I see]
As to blaming victims, that wasn't just about you. It is a general complaint I have about a left-leaning group who prefer to accuse Democrats for what Republicans have done. This blaming of allies and demanding purity only helps the real villains.
The other problem I try to highlight - and I am not innocent of this, perhaps noone is - is looking for evidence to support your point of view and ignoring everything else.
The problems with US vote cheating is that the minority party has been in charge, and they are very busy ensuring that this gets worse. Republican hacking of actual votes - and possibly Russian as well - has been around at the very least since the late 1990s. I made a study of this around the 2000 election and to my dismay I found it was as easy as having a password and changing an Excel document. The CEOs of vote machine providers were in many cases active Republican campaign execs as well. Nothing has changed, nothing has been done. Add to that gerrymandering, suppression, intimidation, and a range of other cheating techniques, and you get what happened in Virginia, where a 10% margin left the losing party's villains in charge of the legislative process and the next round of votes. I was a little shocked to find that in several red states polling places close at 6 pm. Working stiffs can't always get time off to vote, and if they don't have cars, getting to the limited daytime hours of places where they can get the limited means to satisfy voter ID requirements is not easy.
In addition, even when the courts rule, local authorities, put in place thanks to tactics well described in Jane Mayer's Dark Money, often refuse to enforce the law when the courts say Republicans have gone too far.
So in order to get these lowlifes out of office, we have to win by a landslide.
