> the repelling force between them could account for the expansion acceleration in a very simple way.
The electromagnetic force still follows the inverse square law. So if objects in the universe are charged, the effects end up being similar to the force of gravity.
i.e. it's still an inverse square law, and it's still linearly related to the observable mass.
The only way something else is happening is if you use either the dark matter / energy theories, or MOND.
The shorter explanation is that it's naive to think that "off the cuff" ideas from amateurs are better than ideas from experts in the field who have devoted decades of their life to the subject.
