France...they are redoing there gov, forcing their PM to resign. And there are calls for Macron to resign as well. I don't care unless they cheat in their election, because it may give our cheaters ideas.
Nicaragua? Reagan's solution seemed to be, "they elected someone we don't like, so we'll bomb the cr@p out of them. Or cut deals with terrorists and arm the rebels on the proceeds". (The Taliban used to be called Mujahideen and Reagan armed them when Afghanistan was invaded by the Soviet Union, and Bin Laden was a CIA operative who went rogue).
There has always been some election interference and fraud. It became an enormous problem when some states started allowing votes to be counted for weeks after the election, along with increased mail ballots. While I like being able to vote by mail I believe it should be outlawed nationwide and an election should be over at whichever time all of the voters in line at poll closing time have voted. Paper ballots. As to your question specifically, 2020 is the year of big change in number of mail ballots and the fraud was rampant.
Probably true, but not enough fraud to alter who won. Perhaps the answer is a country-wide set of regulations rather than state-by-state. Mail-in ballots are inclusive of those who aren't able to get to a polling place either because they are physically disabled or out of their voting district for one reason or another. Those folks should not be disenfranchised. So, let's say the votes can begin being counted on election day from the polling places, but the count not revealed for one month to allow for the counting of mail-in ballots. Military personnel who are deployed would need that time to get their ballots mailed in.
EDIT: Perhaps it is time to do away with the Electoral College. Technology has come far enough so that we should be able to elect someone by popular vote. Some of the fraud in 2020 arose from electors. Also, in some states electors are required to vote based on percentages and in others, it's all or nothing. That isn't fair at all.

The alleged "fraud" was so minor as to be non-existent, INDEPENDENT observers declared it the safest election in US history. Trump threw a tantrum because he didn't like the result. Like the little boy who takes his bat and ball home because the umpire said he was out.
