Congress should protect our elections

Congress should pass a law prohibiting actions such as are going on in Arizona in regard to the 2020 election. Counting and recounting, sometimes twice, by proper officials should be enough to declare the winner. In my view, only those elected or appointed for the job should be the people handling my ballot. I for one, do not want my legally cast ballot pawed over by disgruntled, biased, self-appointed groups from any party who take matters into their own hands thinking they are the only ones qualified to count ballots and decide the election.

Do the Cyber Ninjas honestly believe Republican states would certify a Democrat president if he didn’t actually win there? Really?
