What is a rigged election?
What is a rigged election?
A rigged election is an election that was messed with. This is illegal. By increasing the favoured candidate's votes or decreasing the votes of the rival candidate or doing both, you are committing fraud. Who counts the votes? Tellers count votes. They count the votes in an election, referendum or poll.
Why do people rig an election?
People rig an election because they don't want to take the fact that their favourite candidate lost the election. I think everyone should just be a good sportsman and take the lost.
Why is rigging an election illegal?
It is illegal because the people might not get the president they voted and hoped for. This is really bad because people in America don't get their say in the election and the person who is rigging the election just made it look like their preferred candidate won. The country now has a president that wasn't even voted for and he has dominion over the whole states and maybe the whole world too.
CONSEQUENCES!
There are loads of negitive consequences but I'm guessing you would probably get arrested for rigging an election because you are committing fraud and if someone commits fraud they could go to jail.
Let's round this up! A rigged election is an election that was messed with. You MUST NOT do it because you are committing fraud and even worse you might go to jail.
I think everyone should get their voice heard and should be able to vote!
Thank you so much for reading

Lots of good information for everyone there, delightful_effort. So let's start a discussion. You made a great point about there being consequences for trying to cheat during an election. What do you think the consequences for committing this type of fraud should be? Why?
To me, I think they should go to jail because they are putting someone in charge of the whole country even though they didn't win the election. They should also recount the votes and see who actually won.

A rigged election means that the vote is unfair and isn't fair on the public.

This is a great post! But for the consequences how would people know who rigged the election? How would they know who to put in jail?

I agree with you outgoing bat and sincere atom because it will be a mystery but they may be able to tell because of there criminal record seen as criminals are 2x likley to do it
Do you have any evidence for this claim, jolly_history?
02 Oct 2020
Well seen as criminals would know more about doing it than a normal member of public
I think we should be careful about our wording here - are you referring to people who have committed particular crimes?

Thank you for posting this delightful_effort, before I didn't know much about rigged elections. I think people who do this should be arrested
why do you think they should be arrested?
