realistically, while this may be overstepping the bounds of some faith in fairy tales like “democracy” and “untarnished will of citizens”, this is very very low on the ladder of nasty voting tactics. Compare to gerrymandering, or outright fraud, or SCOTUS deciding elections over and over, or much worse shenanigans in the 19th and 20th

Also OP’s article is “editorialized” in the same sense that Triumph of the Will is “biased”. A statement like

> The Post’s publication of a report that said Zuckerberg effectively “bought” the 2020 election also sparked outrage from the New York State Republican Party, which retweeted a link to the paper’s front-page coverage.

Is not remotely warranted.
