BUSH WAS NOT LEGIT, 2000Al Gore, December 13, 2000:
"Just moments ago, I spoke with George W. Bush and congratulated him on becoming the 43rd president of the United States. And I promised him that I wouldn't call him back this time. I offered to meet with him as soon as possible so that we can start to heal the divisions of the campaign and the contest through which we've just passed.
Almost a century and a half ago, Senator Stephen Douglas told Abraham Lincoln, who had just defeated him for the presidency, 'Partisan feeling must yield to patriotism. I'm with you, Mr. President, and God bless you.' Well, in that same spirit, I say to President-elect Bush that what remains of partisan rancor must now be put aside, and may God bless his stewardship of this country. ... I accept the finality of this outcome which will be ratified next Monday in the Electoral College. And tonight, for the sake of our unity as a people and the strength of our democracy, I offer my concession. I also accept my responsibility, which I will discharge unconditionally, to honor the new President-elect and do everything possible to help him bring Americans together in fulfillment of the great vision that our Declaration of Independence defines and that our Constitution affirms and defends."WiltonKnight:
BUSH WON DUE TO DIEBOLD MACHINES IN OHIO, 2004In fact, Senator Barbara Boxer of California joined Representative Stephanie Tubbs Jones of Ohio in filing a congressional objection to the certification of Ohio's Electoral College votes due to alleged irregularities including disqualification of provisional ballots, alleged
misallocation of voting machines, and disproportionally long waits in poor and predominantly African-American communities. So, not Diebold. The Senate voted the objection down 1'74; the House voted the objection down 31'267.

RESISTANCE 2016, BEFORE TRUMP WAS EVEN SWORN IN AND OH, PUTIN PUT HIM THERE.Resistance? Clinton conceded election night (after midnight) and gave her concession speech the next day. Did citizens protest Trump's election? Sure, welcome to America, comrade.
The U.S. intelligence community reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin authorized
"influence operations aimed at denigrating President Biden's candidacy and the Democratic Party, supporting Trump, undermining public confidence in the electoral process and exacerbating socio-political divisions in the U.S."
A sprawling report released by a Republican-controlled Senate panel
"provided a bipartisan Senate imprimatur for an extraordinary set of facts: The Russian government disrupted an American election to help Mr. Trump become president, Russian intelligence services viewed members of the Trump campaign as easily manipulated, and some of Mr. Trump's advisers were eager for the help from an American adversary."https://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/algore20...https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/18/us/politics/sen...
