It's all part of sowing distrust and division among the electorate and undermining the electoral process. The election is the last legal means of removing Trump from office, and if it comes to be considered illegitimate while Trump and the GOP hold nearly all the seats of power, it's over. Fake news is a critical part of undermining the system. There are people who will cheer the death of their democracy at the same time as they believe they are defending it.

Yes but his point is there is already heaps of evidences and public admission by one side that they are actively trying to steal the election. They've said if the people vote they will lose, they've said they wont accept the election results, they've told their voters to vote twice, there are court filings from their lawyers saying that they are seeking to discriminate against people for political reasons, they've told their followers they should take weapons to polling places, they've public request foreign help in elections, they've used government employees as part of a political campaign, they are almost certainly selling out American interests for assistance in an election and aren't even trying to hide it, and the list goes on.
And the other side faces rhetorical accusations of election fraud as part of the first sides efforts to sow enough discord that a stolen election might just be accepted by enough people, without a spec of evidence.
Basically by spouting this you are actively participating the election fraud.
