Not using election fraud as the reason for losing is the surprise to me for the midterm elections. I thought a significant minority of Americans had been prepped to believe this lie when the results does not go their way. They are (were?) spoiling for fight.

Ms. Lake seems seems to be the only case.

Maybe because the main architect of election fraud was not on the ballot this time?

Or maybe it could be a trend that is more favorable towards elections?

I don't know.
