Someone saw a plausible scenario, ran with it..skewered it..and used it to their advantage.

Was it fraud. I have no idea.

I don’t know the details of how it all went down and what happened after the campaign knew it was false.

Even if it was outright lying about another candidate (and there's no indication that there was), that's not "fraud" in electoral sense. There were no process violations, no reason to suspect impropriety in vote counting.

All it is is a spoiled child whining because he lost and looking for a scapegoat to cover that fact. Whining about "fraud" just because you lose isn't fighting back, it's just being a poor loser.
