I would argue the opposite. Authoritarians promote mistrust in elections (regardless of whether they win or lose.)

In the US for example, distrust is very high. Promoted by accusations of mail-ballot fraud, of illegals voting, by anything at all. This continues despite winning the 2024 elections.

Venezuela, Turkey, Russia, Hungary, etc say otherwise.
