Wait a minute...you don't think we should overturn an election that was stolen by foreign actors?It's a fair question, and we absolutely need to take this stuff seriously.
Let's say that (whether it's to the alleged degree or not) that there has been significant foreign interference and voter fraud. I don't think we would overturn an election over it, but I would sure as hell expect that we'd need to put much better systems, safeguards and contingencies in place for the future.
Unfortunately, we're in such a toxic and counter-productive political environment that it's difficult to imagine the two parties working together to accomplish this. I'd love to be proven wrong on that, though.
Also unfortunately, this whole issue has been handled so poorly and in such an unserious way that it means that future allegations of fraud will also have to pass the "boy who cried wolf" test just to be taken seriously. This is why we need an intelligent, dignified, serious approach from the top, as opposed to what we've had.
