I think a much stronger threat stems from Trump's blatant lies about systemic and wide spread election fraud - that are fueling unwarranted distrust in the election system.

This is prompting election-lie advocates to run for state-level election offices. We have impeccable supervisors of elections (both parties) who have received numerous death threats, for simply showing how election fraud allegations are false.

Florida has created an entire law enforcement agency to find election fraud where it doesn't exist.

All of this exists even after courts all over the country bench slapped every one of the bogus election lawsuits.

I submit that any implication that there wasn't meaningful harm done - or that widespread meaningful harm isn't ongoing - falls far short of the mark.
