As 'Paracord' posted, many Democrats voted against certification of the 2000, 2004, and 2016 elections, AKA every election they've lost this century. Your party is not morally superior. In fact, they've been denying the results of elections they didn't like the outcome of for the last twenty-three years.

So, if you have a problem with the election-denying of some Republicans, then you need to have the same problem with election-denying Hakeem Jeffries, who said that Former President Trump cheated and stole the 2016 election. Anything else is blind hyper-partisanship and hypocrisy.

I never claimed elections were never contested by democrats but not on a level of 2020.

You think that the contested election in 2000 was the same as 2020. really?

Kerry dismissed the complaint about the Ohio vote in 2004, no rally on the mall, no lawsuits, no request for a national voter fraud investigation or ransacking of the capitol. If you read the details about the Ohio challenge it was regarding long lines and procedures that reduced the voter turnout.

The 2016 election was also a non-event with a few democrats contesting the election.

2020 didn't have US senators supporting house objections, you had senators Cruz and Hawley leading the charge to delay certification and 8 senators voting no.

Only 3 congressmen challenged the vote in 2016 but they were not joined by a US senator, Biden presided over the certification and it was over in minutes.

The attempts of equivalency are always amusing, but getting back to the point Jeffries did make comments but in the end he voted to certify the results in 2016.
