American "democracy" is a joke. Especially in red states. It's a farce.
If the same thing were to happen in Kenya, we would have the Jubilee party apparatchiks being appointed to run the IEBC. Then making sure that opposition strongholds do not have accessible polling centers, put them through extra hoops to get on the voter rolls, then their MPs having the last say if somehow the rigged system does not work for them....it amazes me how America still sends observers to other countries elections.
The honor system that kept it going has basically collapsed, thanks to Trump and his current GOP cohorts.
