President-elect Donald Trump said the election was rigged because
millions of non-citizens voted (although there is no evidence to
support the claim), 2016 Green Party Presidential Candidate Jill
Stein has requested audits in multiple swing states with Wisconsin
being the first to begin a recount, and Hillary Clinton's campaign
is willing to go along with a recount despite that Clinton allies
are, according to Politico, "irritated with Jill Stein." Even with
all of the talk of tampering, the actual chances of voter fraud are
very slim now. The past, however, is a different story. In this
BackStory short take, the Guys take a look at the history of rigged
elections. (Image credit: Voting Machine Bumpersticker by
