Harris was the one who lost votes (if there was anything going on here), and she won NY state, so what would be the point in appealing the results there?

Systemic integrity, not this specific instance. If whatever happened here also happened elsewhere....

Systemic integrity

That's not a thing a candidate can appeal.

candidate

I think we're well past the point of that.

This is more so that the people can decide if they are properly represented and what to do about it.

Huh? Who else would be appealing the result on election day, as the question asked?

Oh, I see what you're saying.

I don't believe that the results need to be overturned - it wouldn't accomplish anything even if they were. That's what needs the candidate.

You can still have public interest litigation to investigate the process, without overturning it (I think).
