You are reciting Russian misinformation. The Russian government wants to cause instability in the US by creating distrust on both sides. We need faith in the system and a focus on process. I really hate how politicians and media on both sides are constantly running stories that are closer to propaganda than real information. I don't like the fact that Trump questions the system but to be fair he isn't the first and I'm sure he isn't the last. In the 2016 election the Democratics were trying to blame Russia for Trump winning.
Trust the Constitution to do its job. Government power is distributed with checks and balances.
How am I reciting Russian disinfo? The night of the election, the republican votes weren't nearly as far off from the 2020 count as the Democrat tally was. I saw constant yammering questioning the seeming 20 million vote gap for the Democrat nominee. The Republicans really seemed to think they/Trump somehow prevented 20 million fraudulent votes from reaching the ballot boxes. Now, with votes finalized, the two nominees are only a few million apart and Harris pulled up another 10-15 million.
