The point is that members from both parties
are saying the election is going to be rigged by their opponent. Watch Fox News and you see it all the time. Trump has been ramping up the fears of election rigging for ages.
It's all part of sowing distrust and division among the electorate and undermining the electoral process. The election is the last legal means of removing Trump from office, and if it comes to be considered illegitimate while Trump and the GOP hold nearly all the seats of power, it's over. Fake news is a critical part of undermining the system. There are people who will cheer the death of their democracy at the same time as they believe they are defending it.
