Nope. Not even going to go there. John Kerry never challenged the legitimacy of George W. Bush's win in any way. Yes, granted some paranoia-minded Bush opponents spun some crazy stories that Bush only won because Diebold voting machines rigged the outcome. Activists say all sorts of crazy things. Some Tea Party activists said that Barrack Obama was an illegitimate President because he was born in Kenya. They got a lot more attention and semi-mainstream buy-in than the Diebold crowd. Although I will concede the Diebold crowd was influential in one way. They were a major part of the push to have paper ballot backups to ensure that no electronic rigging was possible. And that turned out to be lucky in 2020.
