If they won, which they now have, they obviously committed fraud with rampant corruption afoot. If they had lost and challenged results in any way -- as Mr. Trump currently is -- they would be accused of attempting to override the voice of the people.

Trump won in 2016 and he still to this day talks about how the democrats committed fraud in that election.  Even when Trump wins he asserts that he's been cheated and fraud occurred because he didn't win by as much as he thinks he should have.
