> When the sitting President claims that voting fraud happened they should investigate it, not instantly claim it’s not true because they don’t like him.
Trump isn't in the habit of making accusations with enough substance to start investigating anything, and when he does make specific verifiable claims, they're usually trivially refuted.
You cannot start investigating without some kind of specific evidence or suspicion that points in a particular direction. Lacking that, any claims that the outcome of the election must have resulted from fraud amount to calls for a broad and undirected witch hunt.
