Let's play a logic game... So...
Drumpf wants to stop votes from being counted. You say it's as simple as he wants his people the see the vote counting. You have to ask, what is the end game? He's already made it very clear (as per the emails his campaign sends out which I receive about 20 a day) that they need money for the "Election Defense Fund". They don't want Dems to "steal the election". We can agree it's very clear that Drumpf feels that the election is being stolen which means he feels he's being cheated which means he feels he should win which means if he loses he will not accept the outcome which means that him suing to, as you say, simply "see the votes" is a move he hopes will move him closer to his end game, which is to win. Okay? Cool. Moving on...
2016: he lost the popular vote. He won the electoral college which ultimately made him president.
2020: he's losing the popular vote. He's on track to lost the electoral college which will make Biden president.
He's lost the popular vote both times. So what's changed from 2016 to 2020? Only the fact that he won't win the electoral college this time. Right? Good. Cool.
So, being that he lost the popular vote both times, why sue to "see the votes" in 2020 and not 2016? Answer: to try and change the course of outcome for 2020 to be the outcome of 2016. Understand? Cool. I know you can't be that daft.
So! To sum up! As per my OG meme, if you stop counting votes, because Drumpf wants his people to see them and only to simply see them, and if he was going to accept the outcome either way, as the votes tend now, he would still lose. But he's made it clear that he will not accept the outcome. So he hopes that suing to stop vote counting will change the outcome. You ever play tag in school when you were younger? It's like when you play with the bully sore loser who usually gets away from everybody but then suddenly finds themselves being "it" and unable to tag anybody. They call "time out" and "it's not fair anymore" only because they're losing. They're endgame is to win. They call a time out because they're not winning all of the sudden and they hope the time out distraction will buy them time for their ego and a different outcome.
Drumpf loses either way. So stop being so gullible to believe he just want to keep people "honest". He wants the course of the outcome to change and if votes were stopped, he still wouldn't. Check. Mate.
