Seriously, who in the fuck was asleep at the wheel in trumps inner circle and didnt see this bullshit coming? He had to have known that fuckery was coming ever since his 2016 win.

What can he (the President) do? States are given the rights to conduct their elections. They have rules. They broke the rules. And when the President did the right thing and took it to the courts, the courts were too scared to get involved. And the media did their part the entire time to make sure that anyone would be too scared to object (you wouldn’t want your name, families names, and address being posted publicaly would you?). The President isn’t a monarch. Those that failed to do their part of the system should held accountable, I’m not going to blame the victim (Trump and his followers)

Im pretty sure that foreign countries hacking into the election is a matter of national security, is it not? Im not buying this idea that states can run an election (a federal one) like a banana republic and then the outcome of said banana republic must be accepted by the states that follow the rules? That sounds like utter bullshit to me. We have DHS, NSA, space force, military intel, cyber security, special forces, trillions of dollars plus assets at our disposal and none of those toys can be used to secure a federal election? Pshh. If that's the case, Im out. Let the fucking country fall apart. States seceeding is the only way forward if the top down system is this fucking broken and the most powerful military stands there and watches it happen. What is the point in trying to fight and save a republic that hasnt been a true republic in over 100 years?

It’s that way because the constitution says it’s that way.

“Congress may determine the Time of chusing the Electors, and the Day on which they shall give their Votes; which Day shall be the same throughout the United States.”

Other than the above, the federal government cannot do anything else during the presidential election
