It was! And there are regularly articles on the subject, both opinion and news.

There are two sides to the story.

(1) Fair Election There was a fair election conducted and Joe Biden won fair & square. Any irregularities were typical, and any disregard for election law, or the consitution, was merely incidental due to trying circumstances (covid 19)

(2) Unfair Election There was an unfair election and Joe Biden won via cheating. The irregularities were atypical, and the disregard for election law, or the constituion were evidence of malfeasance

Many states are not contentious, being solidly blue or red. It is battleground places like NH, GA, AZ, VA, NC, and a few others where one party contends there is smoke, evidence of a fire. The other party contends there is no smoke, and this is just problems of conducting an election during a pandemic.

From a cybersecurity perspective, we have known for a long time there are huge security issues with voting machines. It is unfortunate that this election took a presidential election and several contended down-ballot elections to become a national issue.
