They should've humoured them just to shut up the people saying those things then.

I think the partisanship is what's really driving people like this. The Trump/Russia stuff was investigated, why not investigate election fraud too?

It was investigated, and it is not the federal government's job to police this; the law states that individual States are responsible for that.

They've done both.

- The Trump/Russia situation resulted in the senate agreeing that Russia did collude with members of the Trump campaign in support of Trump. [1]

- Investigations into the voter fraud and election tampering allegations in favor of Biden have resulted in 61 failed lawsuits in state courts on the basis of "no evidence." [2]

- The supreme court has rejected every lawsuit brought to it on the basis of "no evidence." [3]

While the Russia investigation lead to the arrest of nearly every 2016 Trump campaign manager, the allegations of voter fraud across 10 states has led to nothing that could overturn the election.

That’s not actually true. While some may have been dismissed based on insufficiency of presented or proffered evidence to support the legal claim, most were either voluntarily dismissed or dismissed for legal threshold issues (failure to state a claim, lack of standing, unreasonable delay in filing [laches]) which come before considering evidence.

1. The evidence provided for election fraud was investigated, and no widespread fraud was found. 2. The Trump/Russia stuff was investigated because there were credible reasons to be concerned. The election fraud issue is entirely (and transparently) manufactured, and everyone in power knows it.

What do you think they've been doing in the courts for the past month?

Trumps own Justice department wouldn't even pursue it.
