> The system is clearly breaking down today where 75% of Republicans do not trust the election results and 75% of Democrats didn't trust the 2016 election.

To the extent that's true, it has far less to do with voting machines than with self-selected information bubbles.

This was also an election where for months, everyone had nothing to do except sit around and consume filter-bubble news.
