OPINION — Donald Trump’s stolen-election fables present a challenge to those still grounded in reality when discussing election reform proposals.
The reforms propounded by Republicans, nationally and here in Arizona, are anchored in one of two rationales. Either necessary to prevent such non-existent electoral larcenies. Or, irony of ironies, to restore voter confidence in the integrity of elections, a confidence eroded by the fabulists themselves.
For those still grounded in reality, the instinct is to reject all such reforms given their tainted origins and motivations. But, in a way, that’s going down the rabbit hole with the fabulists.
