Maybe at least the people that put them in power (voters). But being honest, it wasn't just voters.

Nonvoters would win the Electoral College if that was a thing.

Hot take: if <80% of eligible voters show up, nobody wins and the same politicians stay in office for another year, even if term limits would normally apply.

How about instead it immediately triggers another new election and the people who ran previously are not eligible to run ever again
