The fragility of our democracy today is not what many feared when Donald Trump was elected in 2016. The good news is that two of the three pillars of American democracy — liberty and the rule of law — have withstood the test, even if they, too, have been hit hard. But the threat to the third pillar — free and fair elections — is far more serious than my fellow democracy experts predicted.
