Democrats were in a somewhat precarious position this election cycle [with the nature of what the Republican party has become under Mr. Trump] in that -- win or lose -- they were going to be accused of "trying to steal the election." 

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.
