For the most part, when Democrats talk about this sort of thing, they mean legal but undemocratic or counter-majoritarian tools like the electoral college, not having enough polling places, limited voting hours, voter purges, etc.

I try to push back on using the word "rigged" for these things because A) Just describing the actual things is equally convincing and B) It normalizes that kind of verbiage in political discourse, whereas I think it's definitely better that such verbiage remain kooky. Not endorsing it, just observing a common sentiment.
