Yes, that is the pragmatic question that needs to be addressed, which I believe el gato has done in numerous posts.
Step 1 is fixing the broken election system (https://boriquagato.substack.com/p/accusations-of-electoral-fraud). As long as the system is opaque and corrupt, the will of the people cannot be guaranteed.
Step 2 is preventing money from influencing politics by creating and enforcing existing laws against payola, quid pro quo, and other forms of corruption.
Step 3 is raising awareness about corruption and election fraud and galvanizing the people to support changes that will help ensure election integrity in the future.
I don’t see these doing much — elections are controlled by the states. Perhaps a bill making it illegal for non-citizens to vote ….. but wait. I think we already have one of those. And adding an oath? Please. Not even a baby step. All examples of the useless fluff the GOP likes to support — signifying nothing. I believe the only real solutions will be local, and will be effective if more people become involved. Too many are still sitting back — my life is ok so I’ll leave it to someone else to fix. People who “aren’t interested in politics” have to realize politics affects everything, and everything in their life.
I don’t like being so negative, but the country is disappearing and before long, there won’t be a way back. We are the cavalry — no one is coming to save us but us.

No quarrels here with any of that, but we’re still stuck on the “how.”

Yep.
