Republicans screwing themselves with "voter fraud" claims

I'm looking at the online version of the WaPo and the headline says that more Republicans are backing Trump's challenge to the election. Most of these Republican turds were on the same ballot as Trump and Biden. Therefore, wouldn't their "wins" be included in the "voter fraud" thing?

I guess they think that most people are too stupid to figure this out.

They are too focused on keeping Trump from breaking the furniture in The White House.

They’re only screwing themselves over, yet again, with Biden voters — but that ship sailed long ago.

they sold out Trump? Because they did outperform Trump at the polls. Secretly they want to ditch him too? I dunno. These days anything crazy is possible.

The court will have to find that voter fraud existed.

They're pushing the case that mail in ballots were rife with fraud, the idea is to get the courts to throw out all mail in ballots in several key states. Making same day ballots as the only ones that count, would mean trump wins those states and thus down ballot improves for Reps too.

They're position isn't just that there was fraud, but that significant fraud only happened on one side.

Of course they have no proof of this at all.
