This is an important and pertinent analysis of our electoral system.
I have worked with complicated systems for a long time. One of the basic tenants of solving complicated problems is to analyze what went wrong as soon as possible.
Actually solving the problem will take time; more time than most people are willing to acknowledge. In most cases, it would be completely useless to attempt to fix the problem just before the next time the system is being used. It will definitely be to late when maybe people see the problem in action.
However, it will never be fixed if people don't even agree that there is a problem.
The value of this analysis is that it raises reasonable questions - along with statistical analysis to back it up - about our election integrity. If anyone has doubts about the analysis, back them up with a reasonably scientific approach.
The more people who are actually discussing the problem the better. More people looking at the problem and and at least agreeing that there is a problem the better. This is the baseline for attempting to find a solution.
Implementing a solution to the problem will take a lot of effort. In this case, it will have stiff political opposition. But if there's any chance that it can be solved, it will require the backing of the Democratic party. The Republicans won't fix it out of good will and honesty.
