ADVERTISEMENTTrump has warned that the election process is "rigged," and if he loses, it will mean the election was stolen from him. How does Trump think election rigging would actually occur? Widespread vote rigging of this sort, however, is flat out impossible because the U.S. does not have a unified national election system. We have a massively decentralized and locally controlled hodgepodge of election systems, with roughly 9,000 separate city and county election jurisdictions. Preventing election rigging is a very local process with a lot of checks and balances.
