I live in a country that the US has sanctioned in the past for undemocratic election processes. Also, I'm familiar with our voting procedures and have worked on election oversight, data gathering etc.

If we had an election that had a fraction of the irregularities that are surfacing in some of these problematic states, I'm pretty sure we would have been invaded by now. Jokes aside, those states are a similar population size to my country so it's not apples and oranges.

Censorship is also something the US is quick to call out others for.

?? show actual factual sources if you're going to make a claim like that on a platform like HN
The POTUS has been telegraphing this litigation for months or even years before the election. Let's not pretend that his campaign is actually reacting to sincere revelations of fraud. They were always going to dispute the election if they lost it. So many people claim evidence of massive fraud and yet every case I can find gets laughed out of court, often by Trump appointed judges, despite massive incentives to show that evidence in court. It has gotten to the point where conspiracy theorists are literally referring to nonexistent state counties in their court filings. Frankly, it is a conspiracy theory.

This should probably clue you in that there are, in fact, no real irregularities(beyond what normally occurs).

Surely you must stop at some point and ask yourself - why are you carrying water for Trump?
