Which leads to the question: What is election integrity? Is it Democrats worried that Trump and Republicans will cheat? Is it Republicans worried that Biden and Democrats will cheat? It appears to be both, in roughly equal force. Given that, it seems reasonable to expect both Biden and Trump to highlight it in their campaigns. In some ways, 2024 will be an election about elections
