The Trump campaign continues to contest election results in multiple states, all while Democrats accuse the Republicans of engaging in conspiracy theories.
On that note, here’s a thread that shows politicians like Nancy Pelosi and Bernie Sanders were for giving voters confidence in the integrity of elections before they were against it:

PELOSI (2004): "Please don't talk about this about a conspiracy theory. It's not about that. It's not about conspiracy; it's about the Constitution of the United States." pic.twitter.com/P0ewdtAggH

PELOSI (2004): "There are still legitimate concerns over the integrity of our elections and of ensuring the principle of one person one vote." pic.twitter.com/9ClgJogATK

Bernie Sanders echoed Pelosi:
SANDERS (2004): "I agree with tens of millions of Americans who are very worried that when they cast a ballot on an electronic voting machine that there is no paper trail to record that vote in the event of a recount." pic.twitter.com/49cbltqHA7

Pelosi and Sanders seem to have changed their mind this time around.

Sure does.
The convenience of partial partisan legalities and regard for the Constitution. Fascinating.

Why are the same people in these videos in congress today? That’s the problem.

Media keeps digging up what Trump admin folks were saying back in 2016 about the election… Wonder why they aren't able to fin(D) these ones? https://t.co/sXuhGkVvEq
