Then the elections become meaningless because the voters have no way of knowing the veracity of the outcome.  For decades, the USSR pretended to have elections, but for some mysterious reason, the communist candidate won every time with well over 90% of the vote.

Lest you think your implication - and yes, you are making one -
slides: it is observably the case that California, with a basically
all-Democrat (and thus, one-party) government, has far more reliable
and verifiable elections than the USSR did.

This was only one of the causes.  There is no one single cause of what
happened in late 2024.  But, yes, that was among the causes.

I considered that, were I to become President on the Democratic
ticket, one of my actions would be to urge the Democratic party to
blacklist those who:
* in 2016, directed that Clinton should be given extra delegates
("superdelegates") in opposition to early primary results, or
* in 2024, promoted the idea that Biden should step aside after the
voters had selected him, not Harris or anyone else, as the Democrats'
nominee.
