This is so dumb. He didn't try to not let people vote. Every loser every year claims recounts are needed, they just usually don't use the system to try and prove it. He's using the system to try and prove it. The system is there for a reason
Stop trying to claim he's stopping people from voting.
He claimed 3 million illegal votes during an election he won. 3 million... then what did he do once becoming president after an accusation of the largest voter fraud claim for a democracy in history? Nothing. Barely mentioned it. No enormous investigation to arrest the thousands of people that would have needed to be involved to coordinate 3 million illegal votes. Nothing. Why? Because it was just something for him to say off the cuff. He took a page from his hero Roy Cohn to just declare victory even when defeated. Lose a case? Just claim victory. Lose a popular vote count? Just claim victory. He has done it all his life and doesn't care how easily it is for some people to believe his off-the-cuff lies even when they can threaten democracy itself. He will never concede a loss and doesn't care who it hurts. He will also never have the evidence for his claims because he doesn't need any.
