Half of the US also believes this. The other half doesn't.
Half of the US also believes this. The other half is right.
Well, there is that Bush only probably won the 2000 election.
So there is one that was interfered with.
They started screaming "stop the count" in that one as well, but that time unfortunately were successful in doing so. Many of the rioters who attacked the counting center got nice political appointments by the Bush admin too.

Roger stone involved in both of course.
Yeah Bush almost definitely did not win that election fairly. Everything that went down in Florida is insanely sketchy.
Theyre rigged in the sense that you're going to get a far right and ultra far right candidate, which is good enough for me to call US elections rigged.
The leaders of the half that believes it know it's true because they did the rigging.
The leaders of the half that doesn't believe it also know it's true, but don't want to admit it because the first half's preemptive DARVO-ing has poisoned the rhetorical well against them. Also, admitting it would just weaken the public's faith in the validity of elections even further, playing into the other side's hands.
Which half depends on who is in the White House at the moment.
