Blame it on American exceptionalism, but when I used to read about a lesser developed country’s contested election, I thought: “This could never happen in America.” Then January 6th changed everything. Now, whenever I read about a losing candidate alleging election interference with no evidence, I think: “Look at these Trumpian claims.”
