Republican state legislators gerrymandered congressional and state legislative districts in the red states. They suppressed the vote with demands for voter ID and dropped thousands of people from the rolls. They closed polling places in areas with lots of Democrats. They removed drop boxes. They passed rules that you couldn’t bring someone else’s ballot to a drop box, not even that of your spouse.
Republicans discouraged mail-in balloting. They challenged voters. They put thugs outside of polling places to intimidate voters. They put a guy in charge of the United States Postal Service to screw up the mail before the election. They said corporations had the same rights as people and could give unlimited funds. They weakened and even eliminated campaign finance limits. They attempted to intimidate the press.
Three years after Trump lost, over half of the Republicans in the United States think that election was rigged. It was, but they lost anyway.
