I mean the fact of the states administering their own elections is kind of the whole thing in the Constitution. Things like this are why it’s called the United States of America. It’s weird and just like 50 little countries in some ways.
RCV is starting to get popular and I have hope that it’ll begin to unfuck things a bit, but also some Republican-controlled states have preemptively outlawed it because they know they would never wield power again if the citizens actually had a choice.
Also the federal government absolutely should not have singular control. Especially this one shouldn’t have centralized power of elections, and it’s been reshaped so fundamentally, probably it’ll still have pockets of MAGA cancer for at least a decade. They’re rigging it and not even trying to hide it.
Fuck this is terrifying. This is it. Right here. This is the ACTUAL end of democracy if he gets his way. We’ll just be another Russia.
I can’t say here what we ought to do about this, but I hope we can find a way to persist as a country without violence.
