Trump has made the stakes unmistakably clear when it comes to election integrity: "We must have secure elections. Without secure elections, we don't have a country." That is not rhetoric. That is reality. Republicans were not elected to clutch their pearls and seat on their hands. They were not sent to Washington to complain about the filibuster, hold press conferences...
