Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Too bad people couldn't be bothered to vote last year.
People voted, but the MAGA Nazis rigged the election, and we ALL know it. Too bad the Democratic leadership decided to help the MAGA Nazis cover it up, and declare that they won "fair & square." Rich Democrats like Schumer can be bought as easily as any Republican.
I wish to investigate your citations.
It seems quite likely, but aside from the plain-sight rigging (gerrymandering, voter suppression, etc etc) I haven't seen anything except that one "computer science" guy whose numbers were contradicted by election officers.
The cascade of bomb threats in blue areas' poking centers of swing states didn't reach your attention?
I remember one. Do you have a list of them?
There were over 30. Hitting at least 5 swing states. Some polling places were evacuated multiple times.

Well that certainly sounds bad, but it also sounds like a weak attempt at creating chaos. There are 100,000 polling places, they emailed bomb threats to "more than" 30 and apparently the return address on at least some were russian domains. And they were declared false and the polling places extended hours.
It's bad, and it's clearly designed to help trump, but I can't see it swinging an election. Obviously it would add to the rest of it, but given what could have happened (i.e. MAGA chuds circling the parking lots with guns or some shit) it doesn't sound like that was much of a factor.
I mean, if 35 fake bomb threats can win you the presidency we should have figured that out before, right?
