Before and during the election we often heard from the Repugs that every vote must be legal and counted. This was their justification for countless lawsuits.
What was true then is true now.
Let's quote them in this thread. Please post any quote of theirs you find that NOW supports an investigation.

High court clears way for Ohio poll challengers

CINCINNATI, Ohio (AP) -- Giving a pre-dawn Election Day boost to the GOP, the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday declined to stay an appeals court ruling allowing political parties to send people to polls in Ohio to challenge voters' eligibility.
Overturning the orders of two federal judges, a three-judge panel of the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 early Tuesday that the presence of Election Day challengers was allowed under state law. It granted emergency stays that will allow Republicans and Democrats one challenger per precinct each.
Plaintiffs' appeals to the U.S. Supreme Court were unsuccessful. Early Tuesday, Justice John Paul Stevens, who handles appeals from Ohio, refused a request to stay the 6th Circuit decision.
Republicans say they wanted challengers in many polling places because of concerns about fraud.
