6. Elections are run by the states, and by counties in those states.

That has always been the case, so it's going to be up to those states and counties to safeguard our voting rights.

I'm sure they're aware of those efforts to interfere and that most of them will try to prevent such interference.

The best protection is to produce a massive turnout of Democratic voters for each election. That will help ensure a positive outcome.
