This I do agree with you on.
16 years ago, the Democrats still try to cling to the claim that in that Election in 2000: Al Gore vs. George W. Bush, Bush stole it via Florida. Media had declared early victory in Florida for Gore and then it suddenly flipped back to Bush.
The current Vice President Joe Biden says Gore was the Elected President in 2000 and Former President Jimmy Carter says there was no doubt Gore won the election. Hillary Clinton also said Bush was 'selected' President, thus, a veiled claim that Bush wasn't the legitimate President, isn't this her saying in another form that the system was "Rigged"?
So Trump's claim during this election that the system is "Rigged", the electoral system in America certainly is vulnerable to rigging, because of the State by State management of it. Reports of Dead people being registered to vote and voting, people who have already voted in one State, crossing in to another State to vote again, voting machines switching votes cast etc etc and even the US Postal Service, has had claims of more than a few postal ballots disappearing.
