    Well, you have the basics like voter suppression in just about every way (e.g., gerrymandering, shutting down polling places, not enough voting machines, laws against helping people waiting in lines, preventing ex-cons from voting, etc.), actively intimidating voters at the polls, active misinformation (e.g., automated messages telling people the wrong dates for the election), etc.

    Now, we know about one attempt to mess with the voting that was caught. They’re looking to overturn those peoples’ convictions.

    I’m sure there is more that I’m leaving out. Now, that may not be what you were talking about, but that’s rigged in my opinion. Also, the electoral college, the voting system (NPV or RCV would be better).

      Gerrymandering doesn’t effect the presidential election (except for maybe suppressing turnout of people who may feel like they don’t matter). I’ve seen far too many people who think it does.

      Yeah it was lots of little things not just one thing.

      Lots of things that they spent 4 years thinking up to do, and also how to keep hold.
