I think the term implies the intent was honest and the execution was fumbled. With Dominion Systems at the least, there's quite a few red flags regarding corellation (but not causation) between outcome and those overseeing the system.
Intent is less important than abject lack of investment in impartiality and stability. Allowing one party's most prominent leaders and their representatives to own/operate companies doing the vote count, and then tallying up dozens to hundreds of major integrity-killing violations of the election process at the very least shows that abject lack of investment. Compare the principle to a child suffering at the hand of a parent - their intent is less important than the ongoing abject abuse/neglect that is demonstrable in its deviation from what actions should have occurred.
Glitches is pretty appropriate. Most glitches are people admitting they don't know why it happened or from bad programming.
