They certainly are but its not really binary like rig or dont rig.
They’re trying a bunch of different things to greater or lesser extent in different places.
However, the swing against them might be “too big to rig”. So even though they block some postal votes and send ICE to polling booths, it might not be enough.
The stronger the dem vote the more egregious their manipulations need to be.
Its almost comical how terrible a job this admin is doing of everything other than rewarding the oligarchs.
It’s weird how the cons blather on about freedom and liberty and the Constitution and 'merica, etc., and try to act like they are the arbiters of what patriotism is.
Meanwhile, it is they that did things like have avatars of Putin shirtless on horseback. It is they that cozy up to dictators and they who absolutely despise democracy.
Our political system depends on the “heel” taking a back seat every few years, now the “face” comes in for damage control with much incompetence; due to their ineptness, the “heel” will be able to convince just enough of the next generation to vote for them and start the process anew.
This has worked for longer than any of us have been alive.
There’s no way they aren’t going to rig the midterms. I expect Republicans to sweep both Houses with a supermajority.

If they’re getting people to frame this as R vs D, they’re winning. Just not as fast as they might want to.
It’s the socialist-leaning takeover of the Democratic Party that has them worried. Because those people won’t use the Republican playbook.
The latest angle is, they’re just going to declare any blue districts that haven’t finished counting their votes on election day, as fraudulent.
I don’t see how the Dem vote is stronger for midterms than the presidency. I don’t think people want to vote for them at all.
Trump is pretty unpopular.

And I expect the big bad 'Muricans to bend over when it happens and scream “YES MASTER, MORE PLEASE MASTER!”
Why ever would they do that?
