Combatting Trumps attempts to steal an election is not rigging it
Changing of the rules just before an election by partisan judges, bypassing the legislature, is the definition of rigging.
The rules weren't changed "just before the election". They were changed a full year prior to the election, so that any court cases bases on the rule changes could be decided before the election. Many of the rules which were changed by the legislation, were reversing rules put in place by Republicans to suppress the vote in poor and minority neighbourhoods.
In the run up to the 2018 elections, the Republicans put many rules into place within weeks of the vote - like moving the only voting station for a poor neighbour to a site outside the city limits with no access by public transit, or changing address requirements on voter ID to disqualify Native America voter addresses.
There were dozens of voter suppression cases in 2018, but the judges all said that they agreed that the new rules were discriminatory and were written to suppress the Democratic vote, but it was too close to the election to change things now.
So basically, you rant about "changing the rules" is Republicans complaining about Democrats doing the very same thing. Except that Democrats' last minute rule changes were argued all of the way to the Supreme Court and the SC said that the new states' rules were properly implemented.
When Trump was elected after losing the popular vote, you said "tough titties". And said Democrats could work to unelect him. That's exactly what they did. They spent the next four years doing everything necessary to ensure that Republicans are going to have to get the American people to actually vote for them.
Reality, what a concept. Time to get some fresh ideas, a platform and some plans, and actually work for your constituents. Then Republicans might win an election without cheating.
