You know, a little intellectual consistency would go a long way at CNN. They’re not exactly dripping with credibility over there, and stuff like this from Chris Cillizza does them absolutely zero favors:

Donald Trump is making baseless claims about election results in Florida and Arizona.
This will not end well.https://t.co/nroZN0Ba8R

Does Donald Trump have a tendency to spout off without getting the full story? Absolutely. But that shouldn’t bother Chris Cillizza, because Chris does the same thing.
"Fact-free" – CNN would never say this about unsubstantiated claims coming from Democrats about the Georgia governor's race. https://t.co/odpWjSuh4i

Of course not. Because narrative.
You are absolutely correct.

In Georgia, Stacey Abrams has refused to accept defeat and Dems have been screeching about voter suppression without any conclusive proof that Brian Kemp or the Georgia GOP is guilty of any foul play. Contrast that with what we’ve seen out of Florida, for example, where Broward and Palm Beach County election officials have made a colossal mess of things and have actively sought to conceal information about ballot totals.

The evidence for this doesn't, um, exist. https://t.co/aFEcU1O4CJ

He really believes that:
The point here is that in both circumstances, Trump is yelling “FRAUD” despite a decided lack of evidence to that end. What appears to be happening — in both Florida and Arizona — is that the election law is being followed.
Except it’s not, Chris.
So you're saying Broward hasn't ignored a court order to report the number of votes? And you're saying the vote totals don't continue to increase while being kept secret?

It is 100% fact that Broward has refused to provide ballot totals as required by law and that “new ballots” were “found” after Election Day.
100% fact. https://t.co/6XRWuwIIVt

Whatever happened to #FactsFirst, Chris?
Forget it, RB. It's Cillizzatown.
