We had the same problem in 2016, 2012, 2008, 2004, and 2000. Nearly half the country has serious concerns about our election system every time we go through a presidential election.
Trump is only the current subject of discussion, he wasn’t around for the four prior elections.
What is so troubling is, corruption-free elections are an essential part of a freedom loving people, and yet, an identifiable segment of our nation’s population condemn any attempt to ferret out the obvious corruption and fraud which took place during this last election. Aside from that our very own Supreme Court has worked to obstruct any meaningful review of specific charges of illegal election activity which took place in a number of states.
I sincerely suspect that had the Supreme Court done its job and heard the Texas case, reviewed the evidence and listened to the witnesses, and then provided, at the very least, specific guidelines to prevent the kind of massive illegal voting which took place, it would have helped to calm the nation and prevented the dangerous anger which has been built up across the nation.

When our federal judicial system ignores our written Constitution and assents to legislative acts contrary to our supreme law of the land, it not only opens the door to anarchy, but participates in such treachery.
The trouble is that if they had actually taken a case for review and decided it either way they’d be seen as acting politically just like in 2000 and there is a firm belief that, that decision sullied the courts reputation terribly.
I can’t remember his exact words but the CJ at the time stated after that decision he hoped they would never again be put in that position because the courts must be seen as non political.
Since then no court has been willing to take on completely political questions.
Consider too that if they had done so, no matter how they decided they would likely have seen an even bigger and angrier response at the SCOTUS building itself and they certainly are afraid of that.
Of course, that is your personal and politically charged OPINION. The Trump supporters I know simply wanted a court to give an evidentiary hearing, review evidence, listen to witness and fulfil the obligation for a redress of grievances.

Today’s Fifth Column media ___ MSNBC, NEW YORK TIMES, CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, WASHINGTON POST, ATLANTIC MAGAZINE, New York Daily News, Time, in addition to Facebook, Twitter ETC., and countless Yellow Journalists who are socialist revolutionaries ___ make Russia’s old Pravda, [an organ of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union] look like propaganda amateurs.
Funny,
I bet you didn’t believe that last summer when this very same quote was used in describing why black people in America were doing what they were doing with all of the “unjustified shootings perpetrated by the police force”? I bet you felt that their cause was unjust in making riots the language of the unheard…but now because it’s unfair to you…and you feel unheard…all of a sudden this quote is “quotable”
So only wealthy land owners should be allowed to vote…not those down on their luck struggling to get buy…those needing a piece of government cheese should not be voting…or if they do…they should be vilified? Very telling.
