Which is, again, not evidence that anything got rigged.

The RNC had a similar anti-Trump preference. There's similarly no evidence they rigged anything against him.

There is proof that the RNC did not rig the elections against Trump, he won. That's impossible if it was rigged.

While there may not be proof that the DNC rigged it against Sanders, that doesn't prove it wasn't rigged. It only proves that no evidence has come to light that it was rigged.

And yet Trump has accused the RNC process of being rigged many times. Strange how the current narrative seems to be that only the DNC is exceptionally corrupt, to the point of rigging an election, and possibly having Seth Rich killed as if the Democratic party was literally a crime syndicate.

There really isn't proof of anything, either way, other than "rigged elections" being the current political accusation du jour.

That's simply false. The accusations against the DNC of "rigging" primarily revolve around bias (revealed in the email dumps), not actual electoral fraud. The RNC was almost certainly biased in a similar (likely more intense) manner against Trump.

It's also entirely possible to rig an election unsuccessfully.

That is all that anyone is really arguing here, contrary to this assertion:

>..just when Wikileaks released info that the DNC primaries were rigged

It is disappointing to see simple statements of facts down voted.

I wouldn't get too hung up on it. I've found, on HN, downvote abuse usually gets reversed over time.

Agreed. Looks like it already has.
