    What does not participating accomplish, exactly?

    If the election is being rigged at the state and judicial levels, participating and not participating have the same effect.

    Screaming at people to go participate, then blaming naysayers for the election loss, just plays into the Republican claims that they have a legitimate majority and elections are functioning as popular referendum.

      In this context a “rigged election” just means trying to prevent anti-GOP voters from voting.

      If you don’t try to vote you are willfully giving the GOP what they want without them having to rig the elections.
