     @br00t4c This seems predicated on the idea that they were ever acting in good faith.

     Even their weak and bad faith efforts last time didn't lead to a Trump win so this time they're not going to even do that. They'd rather give up even the facade of fairness this time than risk their preferred candidate losing again.
