Save America? Save Arizona? Fabulists and election reform

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.
