Parsing a Tweet from the off-going President

 Trump tweeted

For years the Dems have been preaching how unsafe and rigged our elections have been. Now they are saying what a wonderful job the Trump Administration did in making 2020 the most secure election ever. Actually this is true, except for what the Democrats did. Rigged Election!

To which I'd answer:

  1. Democrats were worried because the Senate and the Trump Administration both refused to pass bills that would make elections more secure.

  2. It was wonderful that people within the administration, who were obviously not aided by the President, were able to build upon the strength of an already-robust system to produce good results.

  3. There's no evidence that Democrats rigged the election. The margins are far too large to be explained by any wort of rigging.
