The freedom-of-information laws were enacted to ensure the public has the information needed to hold their leaders accountable and the laws are used by journalists, advocates, academics and ordinary citizens to access government records.
In this case the abuse of these laws is creating chaos with the election system around the country by overwhelming the staffs that oversee elections. They are also fueling baseless voter-fraud allegations and raising concerns about the accidental release of information that could be used to hack voting systems. Officials of BOTH parties have said some of the requests are an abuse of freedom-of-information laws meant to ensure government transparency. These activist thugs are so evil that in some cases election workers have had to endure not only personal harassment but death threats! 
It's not like it was in the 2020 presidential election. On the evening of election day, November 7, 2000, a clear winner of the presidential election had yet to emerge and the contest focused on Florida. Networks initially projected Al Gore the winner, but later declared that George W. Bush, the governor of Texas and eldest son of president, George H. W. Bush, had an insurmountable lead.
Gore called Bush to concede the election, but in the early hours of the following morning it turned out the race was much closer than Gore’s staff had originally believed and at about 3:00 am he called a stunned Bush to retract his concession!
After a legal battle and a recount Gore officially conceded on December 13 and stated in a televised address, “While I strongly disagree with the Court’s decision, I accept it.” He added that he accepted the decision for the good of the country. Trump and his supporters have no such concerns about what's good for the country, only themselves.
Trying to steal elections is nothing new! Read about the time Alexander Hamilton tried to steal the election of 1800 HERE.
