In Key States, Republicans Were Critical in Resisting Trump’s Election Narrative
These people never should have been put in the position of defending our democracy in the first place, but fortunately they performed jobs we've been taking for granted our entire lives.
But in the end, the system stood firm against the most intense assault from an aggrieved president in the nation’s history because of a Republican city clerk in Michigan, a Republican secretary of state in Georgia, a Republican county supervisor in Arizona and Republican-appointed judges in Pennsylvania and elsewhere.
They refuted conspiracy theories, certified results, dismissed lawsuits and repudiated a president of their own party, leaving him to thunder about a supposed plot that would have had to include people who had voted for him, donated to him or even been appointed by him. The desperate effort to hang onto office over the will of the people effectively ended when his own director of the General Services Administration determined that Joseph R. Biden Jr. is the president-elect and a judge Mr. Trump put on the bench chastised him for ludicrous litigation.
“But now we have to go back and rebuild voter trust and let people realize that our elections are not rigged,” she said. “We have to step back and say how do we restore public confidence in a system that is completely torn down.”
