Mostly under the radar, Trump backers in some key states are probing for weaknesses in the nation’s decentralized election administration system. For example, Mr. Trump’s allies appear to be exploring whether county-level officials can block the certification of vote tallies, if the election doesn’t go their way.

A mere handful of officials in one or two major battleground states could sow widespread doubt or upend the certification process, and motivated partisans appear to be searching for any hole in the system to exploit. Americans should not be manipulated nor lulled into thinking 2020 was a one-off. Instead, they should take seriously continuing threats to their vote — and demand their leaders stop discrediting their democracy.
