The Fetterman election, thought through to a logical conclusion, leads one to this dark but accurate take:

"The reason this particularly race is key to the legitimacy question is that there is no answer that supports the democratic system. If everything was above board and the people did vote for a brain damaged hobo, then this is proof that the public should never be trusted with such decisions. The openness to voting for a brain damaged hobo should be a disqualification to voting. On the other hand, if the vote is rigged again, then there is no reason for people to bother voting."

Now pair that with this take from Sundance:

"The Democrat machines in (MI & PA) focused on ballot collection and ignored the irrelevant votes as cast. (...) A vote cannot be cast by a person who is no longer alive, or no longer lives in the area. However, a ballot can be sent, completed and returned regardless of the status of the initially attributed and/or registered individual."

Short version: there's no "vote harder!" solution to this, not at the federal level. Combine demographic reality, Democrat chicanery, and Republican complicity, and Washington is effectively immune to meaningful reform.

The sheer insanity of the MSM suggesting the day after the election that Fetterman might actually be considered as a candidate for POTUS was, in my view, a rubbing of our collective noses in it. "See!", they are gloating, "We can run anyone we want, even this useless golem, and we'll win." It was an "eff you" if I ever saw one.
