I don't see that as the issue here.
If there's a plane crash in the US, there is an exhaustive effort to identify the failures and improve policies and technology so it doesn't get repeated. Trump sees any audit or investigation into the election as a personal attack on him. I see any feet-dragging as a personal attack on US sovereignty, which is what he was elected to protect.
I get that lots of the 5/6 of America who didn't vote for Trump want some way to nullify the vote. I don't think it's healthy for the country (just like Gore in 2000 decided not to file additional lawsuits to extend the inevitable) to pretend like there is a viable path to overturning the election results.
I want and audit (of the election systems, election financing, and election-season media buys) and accountability for the failures of our overfunded and underperforming intelligence community + military cyber command. And I want some recommendations for policy changes and ideas about how to make sure the plebs are more media literate in the future.
