He almost certainly believes they're rigged everytime his candidate loses.

There's a word for people like that: morons.

Hillary Clinton: Trump is an ‘illegitimate president’

---

quote:

---

Hillary Clinton dismissed President Trump as an “illegitimate president” and suggested that “he knows” that he stole the 2016 presidential election in a CBS News interview to be aired Sunday.

---

quote:

---

In June, former president Jimmy Carter used similar language to diminish Trump’s presidency. Carter said that in his view Trump lost the 2016 election and was put in office by the Russians. Asked if he considered Trump to be illegitimate, Carter said, “Based on what I just said, which I can’t retract.”

What to do about friend who thinks computerized elections are easily rigged?

Accept the reality that he speaks truth.

If you have a contest whereby you bet a friend $1000 where you're going to flip a nickel 1000 times where you get heads and he gets tails with the $1000 going to they one who wins the most flips. To keep it fair, you rotate the flipper ever 50 times - you flip 50, he flips 50, and so on. After 950 flips, you are ahead by 47 flips.

Your friend calls timeout for a bathroom break and takes the nickel with him. He comes back 15 minutes late and you finish the contest. The coin comes up tails 50 times in a row and he wins by 3.

You are sure he cheated and ask him to give you the coin so you can make sure it's not rigged, but he just throws the coin into a coin fountain. You search the fountain and find a nickel with tails on both sides. Your friend denies that it is his, and you can't prove he's wrong.

That's what happened in the 2020 election. There was cheating. We cannot prove that the cheating affected the outcome of the election, so we're stuck.

What do you say to that?

Have you reviewed the 2020 election? Your friend sounds like they’ve been paying attention.

I think Trump is gonna win so big even if Ds rig it, won’t be enough

I think that the Trump votes will be so massive that it will take unprecedented amounts of fraud, double and triple counting/scanning, and unfathomable fake ballots for Harris to "win". But I think they do it anyway.

Then, in the following weeks, as actual evidence begins to emerge, it is demonstrably proven that the amount of ballots counted in the election that results in a Harris "win" is statistically impossible. I'm thinking this is how it ultimately goes down. The reaction to this, will decide the fate of this nation. If we do nothing again, it's over. If we do something, it's going to have to be something big, ugly and uncomfortable, but it just might save our Republic.

In recent years we've had hacks of major financial institutions, software companies, pipelines, health insurance companies and government.

What makes the election system computers so special that they are invulnerable?

The answer is in your subject line.

Didn't they just have a court hearing in GA where a guy hacked the voting machine in front of a judge to demonstrate how easy it was and he did it in under 60 seconds?
