There's an irony in attacking elected representatives in a democracy over them staying in line with the desires of their electorate. A private ballot where officials evade accountability to their electorate is less democratic. As there hasn't been any evidence of actual election fraud, we should reasonably view these people as representing the will of the majority the electorates that voted them in.
The political crisis in the US isn't just about despicable elected officials. It's the crisis of division in the electorate being reflected in the political sphere.
