I think this problem 'transcends' political partisanship.
The idea, in the 21s century, that became clear was the excuse that "we can't count"... to deny reality and embrace ignorance as a form of "political-think."
Which suggests to me a more realistic (less hyperbolic) hypothesis... political "parties" should not have ANY influence in vote tabulation... ever.
Any partisanship seems to skew the system.
And the 'fuzzy" nature of party-control defeats the impeachability of a flat count. (Few say they lost an election, many say they got "robbed.")
But with parties effectively "owning" the government... they codify their 'control.'
(Just how is it that all voting machines are some company's "private property?")
And it is now not just codified... but 'sanctified' (in a secular sense) and any challenge is immediately rebuked - by them and their spokespersons - as strictly "un-American."
It's a "continuity of governance" thing... because they already know that "people" shouldn't be allowed to inquire or verify without party oversight and approval.
