Look, people, here's the bottom line, and we don't need Mitch.
Trump himself has indicated there's no basis for looking for fraud, saying as to the proposed Jill Stein (Green Party candidate) recount late last year (BBM):
“This is a scam by the Green Party for an election that has already been conceded, and
the results of this election should be respected instead of being challenged and abused, which is exactly what Jill Stein is doing."

(Of course it's OK when Trump does it to assuage his wounded narcissistic soul at the thought of having lost the popular vote.)
Oh, and according to multiple sources easily googlable,
Trump's own attorneys are on record in a court filing in Michigan indicating there was no evidence of voter fraud in the U.S. election, as follows (again, BBM):
"On what basis does Stein seek to disenfranchise Michigan citizens?" the filing said. "None really, save for speculation. All available evidence suggests that the 2016 general election was not tainted by fraud or mistake." The only fraud going on here is Donald J. Trump pretending to be a serious president of our country.
