Every election is rigged according to the loser, or the non-incumbent

That’s not even remotely true. Election results in the US are almost always accepted by both sides. When Trump indicated that he would reject the result of the 2016 election if he lost, that was unprecedented.

Trump started a voting security investigation, saying the voting system was rigged. He also won.

He started that narrative because he wanted to be a Fox News pundit after losing the election, selling the idea of a rigged election to bask in the attention and fuel his Hillary bashing. Winning ruined that plan.

Another point is that there is not just ballot rigging, there is other types of rigging going on at the social level too.
