Denying the legitimacy election is something both parties do now. With regular frequency. There was plenty of it in the 2000 election with Bush v. Gore. Its perfectly reasonable given we do not have auditable elections.

- starkd 4y agoIf it is not auditable and the source code is not open source, what would dispel fears of a fraudulent election? Virtually every other institution has lost credibility in public opinion polls. Why should elections be any different? The losing side will always cry foul, as they have for multiple elections now: 2000, 2004, 2016 and 2020. It is tempting to look the other way, when the one you voted for happened to win.
