She is not saying the election system is broken, although there are issues with a lot of things that relate to elections like gerrymandering, voting rights, voters being removed from rolls, vote challenges
She is mostly saying that the systems checks and balances didn't work because it was never imagined that a party in power in Congress would capitulate to an authoritarian and so easily give up their power to an executive, or that the courts would fail to keep an authoritarian in check, that all of the processes that were thought to be in place would breakdown so easily
At least that is how I understood her thoughts about the system being broken
I like her didn't believe that so many in office would abandon our constitution and their oaths to uphold and defend it. But what can a minority party do with the way the system was setup?
The minority party doesn't wield much power to challenge the majority party.
The majority party has enabled all of this by willingly abandoning their own powers
They have ceded power of appropriations, the power of the purse, their power of review and confirmation on appointments
They have gone along with lifetime appointments to judges that lied their way to Supreme Court seats or like recent confirmations like with this Bove character.
The majority party is no willing to consider impeachment, they are not calling for ethics investigations, they are not standing up but enabling all of this
