Oh sorry, I forgot that the oligarchy voted in Trump against the will of the people. I really thoight he was voted in with millions of votes from regular americans
Even your source says influence on policy, not elections.
But everything so you can feel better about electing a literal Hitler 2.0
Its almost like voting is part of policy. Policy determines who votes where, when poling places open and close, how mail ballots are counted, when the voter rolls purge, the rules around election spending, and the size and shape of the districts that directly effect the outcome of the elections. But go and rage out like a baby instead at the first sight of information that challenges your shallow world view.
Basically, it sounds like you are seeing this as a systemic failure. However, while I agree with your analysis, fuckery at the voting stations can only take you so far. The last election saw Trump win beyond a margin where election interference would have mattered. It wasn't marginal. I would also argue this analysis runs the risk of disenfranchising the electorate. They have agency. To be clear I don't think the blame can be heaped totally on one side or another.
