Americans Would Be Horrified to Find Out the Many Ways the Election System is ‘Rigged’
by Kyle Becker
What does it mean to a voter when someone claims an election is “rigged”? Does it mean that illegal votes are being cast? Does it mean a systematic bias against a candidate, like when Senator Elizabeth Warren claimed the 2016 Democratic primary was “rigged” in favor of Hillary Clinton? (Warren would then have the temerity to scold Trump for invoking the phrase ahead of his ultimately victorious 2016 presidential bid.) Does claiming an election was ‘rigged’ mean something very specific, suggesting Americans should tread lightly when uttering the suddenly forbidden phrase?
Oxford defines ‘rig’ in one sense as “the particular way in which a sailboat’s masts, sails, and rigging are arranged.” But in reference to elections, it merely means “to arrange or influence something in a dishonest way in order to get the result that you want.”
Thus, it is not controversial to point out that the 2020 election was “rigged” in that numerous states ahead of the 2020 presidential election coordinated to implement unlawful state election rules that violate constitutional due process.
