Parts of the article you didn't cherry pick, because I guarantee Trump supporters aren't going to read the whole thing, much less understand it:
"They were not rigging the election; they were fortifying it."
"For Trump and his allies were running their own campaign to spoil the election. The President spent months insisting that mail ballots were a Democratic plot and the election would be “rigged.” His henchmen at the state level sought to block their use, while his lawyers brought dozens of spurious suits to make it more difficult to vote–an intensification of the GOP’s legacy of suppressive tactics. Before the election, Trump plotted to block a legitimate vote count. And he spent the months following Nov. 3 trying to steal the election he’d lost–with lawsuits and conspiracy theories, pressure on state and local officials, and finally summoning his army of supporters to the Jan. 6 rally that ended in deadly violence at the Capitol."
"“Every attempt to interfere with the proper outcome of the election was defeated,” says Ian Bassin, co-founder of Protect Democracy, a nonpartisan rule-of-law advocacy group. “But it’s massively important for the country to understand that it didn’t happen accidentally. The system didn’t work magically. Democracy is not self-executing.”
"Trump addressed the crowd that afternoon, peddling the lie that lawmakers or Vice President Mike Pence could reject states’ electoral votes. He told them to go to the Capitol and “fight like hell.” Then he returned to the White House as they sacked the building. As lawmakers fled for their lives and his own supporters were shot and trampled, Trump praised the rioters as “very special.”

Totally agree. They safe guarded the election. Didn’t matter who won, they ensured that all votes were counted

I knew it and there it is, one of the local leftist would respond with one phrase from the article applying newspeak while ignoring phrases like:
"Their work touched every aspect of the election. They got states to change voting systems and laws and helped secure hundreds of millions in public and private funding. They fended off voter-suppression lawsuits, recruited armies of poll workers and got millions of people to vote by mail for the first time."
They "recruited armies of poll workers and got millions of people to vote by mail for the first time" knowing they could rig the election.
Election interface is not rigging, it's "fortifying".

I did read it earlier today. People are afraid of media and liberal craziness. See what they've done to Mike Lindell
