Trump Stress-Tested the Election System, and the Cracks Showed
As President Trumps efforts to overturn the 2020 election have steadily disintegrated, the country appears to have escaped a doomsday scenario in the campaigns epilogue: Since Nov. 3, there have been no tanks in the streets or widespread civil unrest, no brazen intervention by the judiciary or a partisan state legislature. Joseph R. Biden Jr.s obvious victory has withstood Mr. Trumps peddling of conspiracy theories and his campaign of groundless lawsuits.
In the end and the postelection standoff instigated by Mr. Trump and his party is truly nearing its end the presidents attack on the election wheezed to an anticlimax. It was marked not by dangerous new political convulsions but by a letter from an obscure Trump-appointed bureaucrat, Emily W. Murphy of the General Services Administration, authorizing the process of formally handing over the government to Mr. Biden.
For now, the country appears to have avoided a ruinous breakdown of its electoral system.
Next time, Americans might not be so lucky.
