American University Prof: 'Russian Meddling' Shows 'There Must Be a New Election'

Here we go again. A month ago, Robert Baer, a leading coddler of Iran who is an "Intelligence and Security Analyst" while pontificating at CNN, contended that alleged Russian interference in the U.S. presidential election meant that the nation needs "to vote again." Now The Hill has given space to Chris Edelson, an assistant professor of government in American University's School of Public Affairs, to advocate the same thing ("Remedy for Russian meddling should be new election").
Before going further, I must remind readers that despite all the dishonest press references to how Russia supposedly "hacked the election," there is no evidence of any kind demonstrating that hackers of any persuasion interfered with or altered any citizen's vote, or that they affected the counting of the votes. On January 5, "Director of National Intelligence James Clapper made it clear Russian hacking didn't change the outcome of the 2016 presidential election."
With that factual reality out of the way, let's look at Chris Edelson and his body of work.
