It's fascinating to see how language can be perverted and Internet memes can become common knowledge for some folks.I guess it's legal to rig federal elections. And why not? Teacher's unions rig local elections all the time. Give us bigger pensions, and we'll get you elected. Nothing like a little incest.
Teachers unions supporting candidates is no more "rigging" an election than it is when corporations and high wealth individuals donate money or when regular folks turn out to vote for candidates they support.
The myth that every rioter during the civil unrest of 2020 was a dues paying BLM member has metastasized in the hive mind of the right, but it simply isn't true. 93% of BLM marches and protests were peaceful. Violence in some of the 7% were caused by white nationalists like the Boogaloos. Most of the violence was simply apolitical criminals using civil unrest as a cover to commit crimes and mayhem.The definition of terrorism is the use of violence to affect a political outcome. Isn't that what BLM did? Was the organization charged with terrorism for all the violent demonstrations across the country which were used to affect the 2020 election?
Here we have another example of a falsehood that has become common knowledge.What about gaming elections? Isn't that what Mark Zuckerberg did in the 2020 election? He dumped something like $400 million into key districts just a couple of months before the election where he specifically targeted Dems. There weren't that many districts that needed to flip.

Posts misrepresent Mark Zuckerberg’s election spending
CLAIM: Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg spent more than $400 million in 2020 to elect Joe Biden, violating campaign finance rules that limit donations. AP’S ASSESSMENT: Missing context.

“Mark and Priscilla provided funding to two non-partisan organizations that helped cities and states ensure that residents could vote regardless of their party or preference,” he wrote in an email to the AP. “Nearly 2,500 election jurisdictions from 49 states applied for and received funds, including urban, suburban, rural, and exurban counties.”
LaBolt wrote that the grants were “made in full compliance with the law.”
A review of online FEC records show that Zuckerberg did not directly donate to Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign. LaBolt also confirmed that Zuckerberg did not make any direct donations. <<
The challenge to the 2019 law was filed AFTER the outcome had been determined and the plaintiffs didn't like the results. The state Supreme Court said that if they really had a problem with the law, they should have filed when it was passed.If all else fails, just ignore the law. Isn't that what the Pennsylvania Supreme Court in the 2020 election? Mail-in ballots are directly addressed in the state constitution. Any changes required a constitutional amendment, yet that the new mail-in ballot changes were not an amendment to the constitution. A 3rd grader could see something fishy here, yet the state Supreme Court said the changes were fine.
The lack of self-awareness in this part is stunning. Republicans have been gerrymandering like crazy for 20 years, closing polling stations in minority areas, harassing poll workers, limiting drop boxes to 1 in a county of 4 million people, eliminating college IDs as acceptable for voting, pushing plans to throw out results they don't like and have legislatures pick the winner, etc. etc. etc.At this point we can see that anything goes with Dems. And if they don't win the presidency, then cities will burn. Republicans seem to be mostly sleeping.
