We got a one-election reprieve, but the problem remains: We Americans need to fix our voting system now.

Electoral shenanigans, from either political team or both, didn’t end up mattering very much in 2024 — because of a Trump landslide that saw Big Orange take 312 electoral votes to Vice President Harris’s 226 and apparently win the popular vote, while the GOP appears to have swept both the House and the Senate. But it’s worth remembering how many such shenanigans there were — the sheer number of crazy election stories that landed in the inbox of any pundit or consultant during this October and November.
