Tipping the table in your favor is akin to tilting a pinball machine to try and win.

It's called cheating. Even if you do it "legally" through the mechanics of democracy, i.e. legislation.

You don't have to "hack" a computer somewhere to hack an election.

And Republicans want to hack every election they can.

Hacking elections is not democracy.

But Republicans have no use for democracy. Assuming they ever did.
