There were a lot of unusual factors that affected the 2020 presidential election, and while just about every election has some sort of fraud that shows up, many experts agree that there likely wasn't enough to change the Electoral College vote count.
But that doesn't mean it wasn't deliberately rigged, according to a senior legal correspondent Margot Cleveland of the Federalist.
Her qualifications run deep.

She also contributes to National Review Online, the Washington Examiner, Aleteia, and Townhall.com. She's been published in the Wall Street Journal and USA Today.
While at Notre Dame Law School before her graduation she earned the Hoynes Prize – the law school’s highest honor. And she spent nearly 25 years as a permanent law clerk for a federal appellate judge on the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals.
Her comments come just as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's partisan committee assigned to "investigate" the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol is going on television to promote its beliefs about that event.
Those largely consist of blaming President Trump.

The committee members have heard testimony that actual fraudulent votes didn't amount to enough to change the result.
However, Cleveland explains there's more than that that should be of concern following the 2020 results.
"Stealing an election by fraud is not the only way to rig an outcome. Elections are rigged when systemic violations of election law occur," she wrote. "That there was no widespread fraud in November 2020 doesn’t mean that the election was not rigged to keep Donald Trump out of the White House."
She pointed out: "The election was rigged with every illegal drop box placed in Democrat-heavy precincts."
And, "The election was rigged when the Pennsylvania legislature unconstitutionally authorized no-excuse absentee voting and when Philadelphia clerks illegally inspected ballots and then told Democrat activists which voters needed to cure their ballots for their votes to count."
And, "The election was rigged when Wisconsin election officials ignored the state election code, telling voters they were 'indefinitely confined' because of Covid and that nursing homes could ignore Wisconsin’s requirement that special voting deputies oversee elections in residential facilities."
And, "The election was rigged with every dollar of Zuck Bucks designed to get out the Democrat vote, and with every leftist activist embedded in county clerks’ offices to push such efforts while accumulating untold voter data to the benefit of the Biden campaign."
And, "The election was rigged when Georgia rendered the election code’s mandate of signature verifications inoperable and the state court delayed a hearing on Trump’s challenge to the Georgia outcome until after the vote certification, thereby ignoring evidence that more than 35,000 illegal votes were included in the state’s tally — more than enough to require a court to throw out the election."
What is known about the 2020 election is that the results almost without doubt were influenced by the $420 million in Mark Zuckerberg money that he handed out to mostly leftist elections officials, who often used it for get-out-the-vote efforts in Democrat strongholds. That money was distributed outside the channels of any regulation that normally applies to political campaign spending.
Further, the legacy and social media corporations cooperated in suppressing accurate, but very damaging, reporting about Joe Biden, his son Hunter and the family's international business schemes just days before the election.
Analysts have concluded that either of those actions alone could have pushed the election results into the Biden column.
