Double Your Election Pleasure: Gag Future Demagogues

What is the harm in double-checking the vote count in states where the outcome was so close, and where there is evidence that we should?

If the vote count is accurate, then all we did was perform due diligence, just as any good businessman (ah-hem) would perform.

If the vote count is accurate, then all we did was follow up on the argument from the most powerful man in the world and his adamant followers who claimed voter fraud was rampant.

If the vote count is accurate, maybe the next time some demagogue runs for office in part based on the argument that the system is rigged against him, despite all evidence to the contrary, we will have confidence to tell him and his followers that he is simply wrong.
