I would have thought that you would include in your excellent fact-based article the potential for the Electoral Count Reform Act to reduce the risks of the 2024 election substantially. This requires a serious push over the finish line in the Lame Duck session of Congress before year-end 2022. At the moment, despite co-sponsorship by both Schumer and McConnell, it is Schumer who needs to bring the bill to the Floor and to ensure passage of the law before the 2023 Congress resets the work to 0.
Defeating election deniers, as you are suggesting, is clearly an immediate and important goal.
But it seems the root problem is that a big chunk of the republican party simply do not want to let the country choose a leader by our constitutional rules. You mention Trump, but I suspect he is not the problem - I suspect he just uncovered it. Any thoughts on how to get the GOP to be more supportive of constitutional rules? This is a party that didn't even publish a platform of what they stood for at the last election.

Donated! Thank you for the analysis. It feels good to help in a small way.
Just FYI the Michigan SOS candidate is Jocelyn Benson, not Dana Nessel (she's AG).
