I think there will be some instances of dodgy stuff in amongst over 130 million votes.  Dead folk voting and so on. It'll be vanishingly small though and not enough to affect the result.

I am enjoying the indignation, affrontendness and the 'US elections can't be rigged' on CNN and similar by the same folk who have spent the last 4 years telling us that Russia rigged the 2016 election.

Did you copy that from a tweet?

There's an obviously big difference between rigging and interfering. Russia is accused of using troll/bot farms, hacking and Facebook data to spread disinformation and carefully targeted lies. Precisely no-one has ever accused Russia, or anyone else, of altering the actual voting in the 2016 election.

This is semantics really.

Or are you genuinely saying that there hasn't been a constant narrative pushed over the last 4 years that 'Russia rigged the election for Trump in 2016' ?

Trump's biggest mistake, apart from telling his supporters that postal votes were for Dem wimps scared of the virus, was thinking that appealing to the worst instincts of Americans would take him over the line again, after promising prosperity and instead handing it over to the rich, while doing his best to kick them off healthcare. He got close though, which is worrying.

Let's be honest, he'd have managed a landslide if Covid hadn't happened.

As things stand, enough of his supporters were forced to confront the reality that the leopards were, in fact, eating their face.

From Fox News website:

A police chief in Arkansas has resigned after he allegedly posted messages calling for violence against Democrats over the 2020 presidential election, the city's mayor announced on Saturday.

Lang Holland, the former police chief in the sparsely populated city of Marshall, allegedly called for the “Death to all Marxist Democrats," in a series of messages posted on the social media platform called Parler, reports said.

Holland also allegedly wrote, “Take no prisoners leave no survivors!” and “Throw water on them in restaurants. Push them off sidewalks," according to KNWA-TV.

Just came across this, sorry.

No, I've never heard anyone say Russia "rigged" the election, in the sense of interfering with ballot papers or counting. That's a massively different thing from propaganda.
