Since "everything" is about the money these days, can losing candidates sue?

If they lost to the GOP candidate due to fraud, why not sue them for financial damages?
Campaigning costs shitloads of money these days, and if people begin to think their candidate is only going to end up cheated out of a win, why even bother to donate?

Any money recouped could be donated to charity, but surely media would be all over it like stink on the city dump

Voter suppression is generally done under color of law, until you can prove intent.
