Really? I thought you were smarter than that or at least more honest. Two dozen elected representatives objected to the vote count in Congress. Nearly every major network hinted at something messing with our election. Hillary has still not admitted that she lost. The entire Russian collusion thing about about Trump not legitimately winning the election. How many democrats voted for impeachment? There is your number of "very few."

Russian collusion:
"The Russian government interfered in the 2016 U.S. presidential election with the goals of harming the campaign of Hillary Clinton, boosting the candidacy of Donald Trump, and increasing political and social discord in the United States."
First Trump impeachment:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) first announced the House would pursue an inquiry into Trump on September 24, 2019, following allegations that Trump requested the Ukrainian government investigate former Vice President Joe Biden (D) and his son, Hunter Biden, in exchange for aid.[2]
Hillary Clinton at no time claimed any irregularities in the voting that cost her the election. She did blame Comey and Russia for hurting her chances.
Hillary Clinton emerged from political hibernation Tuesday by declaring herself “part of the resistance” to Donald Trump’s presidency — and spreading blame for why it is not her sitting in the Oval Office.
Making a rare public appearance, Clinton attributed her surprise loss in the 2016 election to interference by Russian hackers and the actions of FBI Director James B. Comey in the campaign’s homestretch.
“If the election had been on October 27, I would be your president,” Clinton told moderator Christiane Amanpour, the CNN anchor, at a Women for Women International event in New York.
Clinton stated broadly that she takes “absolute personal responsibility” for her failure to win the White House. Yet the Democratic nominee declined to fault her strategy or message, nor did she acknowledge her own weaknesses as a campaigner or the struggles by her and her advisers to at first comprehend and then respond to the angry mood of broad swaths of the electorate.
Yes, several members of Congress objected to the vote count in certain states. You do know what happens to those Republicans who oppose Trump in any way. He comes after them and has done so. Raffensperger. Ducey. McConnell. Murkowski. Collins. Better to object today than incur the wrath of Trump. Trump still has his base and can impact election chances of those running.
Regarding the networks, yes there has been the usual talk of possible Russian and Chinese interference in the election but I can't recall any of the networks seriously suggesting voter fraud cost Trump the election.
