Donald Trump is right that the election is rigged, while yet being so wrong. If rigged means one party gets more votes, but loses, than the Congressional election is rigged. Over each of the last three cycles, Democrats in the aggregate, have gotten more votes than Republicans, yet have lost the House by increasing numbers.
The GOP brilliantly focused on state houses leading up to the 2010 census. The reapportionment all but assured a Republican majority. As this campaign season draws to a close President Obama is launching campaign ads for up to 150 state legislative candidates. Fair elections may be in the offing.
The presidential race receives too much bipartisan scrutiny for systemic fraud. But it is a race you cannot expect to win if you run an ass against a thoroughbred.
