worrying about the integrity of elections doesn't make you a threat to democracy unless we define democracy as something like the exam in naruto where everyone is fighting to cheat without getting caught.

Then ask what you mean by "loss of illegitimacy". I remember a lot of questions about elections 20 years ago since companies like diebold were making voting machines that were proven insecure.

Hate to say it, even as a tech guy myself (I run most of the services I use ffs) sometimes it seem most sensible to just stick with low tech. Gadgets and gizmos seem to have caused more problems than they've solved.
With respect to stolen elections, it's immaterial either way, and it'd be easier if everyone could just get that. We have a name for people who get elected president through cheating: "The President". At worst, they'll get fined a slap on the wrist by the election commission.
Thankfully, the past 6 years has been an eye opener for a lot of people. We used to trust institutions, now we know we shouldn't and people are building their own decentralized systems, processes, and the like. That's a good thing no matter who ends up in charge.

It's easy to get sucked in and start thinking one group is the devil and another is purely good, and lately I've been reminding myself that it's not the case.
