If you have secure voting then it won't repeat. The problem was not the voters, and if it is, then we just lost. Interesting how your post implies that we lost fair and square and the problem was with black voters. Interesting concept, after Trump gained in every group except white voters this time around.

Stacy Abrams has a shitload of white supporters, are you kidding? It's a ridiculous unscientific point. What was the race of the SC judge who was most on our side? Black. What was the race of the GA governor and AG? The MI AG and gov? The people who threatened election certification officials in MI who wanted accountability for Detroit's votes not matching registration records? All white. I could go on and on. And Trump had the highest black support in polls and votes of Republicans in ages.

The problems are liberals, and the lack of security and accountability with voting.

I would dispute the demographics to the level you allude to. Detroit has been a corrupt city for a long time, so the problem isn't really the voters, it's who handles and counts them, who hires them, and who sets up the system of the entire process. In MI, the AG and Governor are white, and the people choosing who to employ for election workers might also be (Detroit is under a county that had about half white officials, at least when it came to the certification process). There's obviously bad actors from multiple races.

Meanwhile, if you say black people should be stopped from voting, that does make us into the bad guys, loses us our high ground, and gives a ton of strength to the Dems argument that they should fight voting security laws because they're just a tool to disenfranchise black people. Like, you basically admitted to their main accusation.

Also, Trump said there were problem spots but he never implied anything about race, that again is a Democratic narrative that misconstrues what he said. He talked about specific people or places regardless of race.
