I'm pretty sure that's the whole point of courts. For accusations to be worked out.

  It's one thing to go to a court because you have evidence of fraud, and you want them to overturn the election on the basis of that evidence. That would be legal and well within the rights of litigants. It's quite another to go to a court, not because you have evidence, but because you want to avail yourself of their power to overturn the election by making some convincing argument. Or, short of that, to use the context of a court battle to give a patina of legitimacy to otherwise baseless accusations and FUD (lawyers are great at making bullshit sound convincing in a lawsuit). That's what the Trump team did, and those are not the kind of people we should be letting near power (those who show an eager willingness to use institutions corruptly).

  That is indeed a purpose of courts. Hence why it is wrong to skip the courts and denounce everything as fraud to millions of people and encourage them to reject the democratic process before you have gone through a judicial process.
