Actually the title raises another question: Do we place a higher value on our party controlling the government than we do democracy itself? Four years ago, or may even two years ago, I've have said "no", we value our democracy the most. Until recently the pattern seemed to be that both parties would be involved in running the elections, and people accepted the outcome. If the outcome was close, there would be a recount involving both parties. That was it. Now it seems more like a quaint idea similar to big tail fins on cars.
Multiple states are placing reviews into the hands of their legislatures to review elections which is necessarily partisan, as Arizona is proving now. Whatever those results are, because it's partisan run, fewer people will trust them.
Our Democracy is based on the assumptions that our elections accuracy convey the will of the electorate and we will support the results...like them or not. If we lose that, what is next?
