Do you think Trump's legal actions are harming our democracy?

The election was held more than two weeks ago. The media called the election in Biden’s favor about two weeks ago. However, state-certified results are still pending from almost all the states.

In the meantime, Trump’s legal team has been busy questioning the validity of the ballots and the counting process in many states. CNN and other mainstream media have, on many occasions, complained that Trump’s legal maneuverings are hurting democracy in the US.

By way of comparison, in 2000, “According to a report by The New York Times, 680 of the accepted overseas ballots were received after the legal deadline, lacked required postmarks or a witness signature or address, or were unsigned or undated, cast after election day, from unregistered voters or voters not requesting ballots, or double-counted.[47])”

Isn’t that similar to many of Trump’s complaints?

So my question is twofold:

1. Do you think Trump is hurting US democracy?
2. If so, how exactly is what his legal team is doing different from what was done by Gore’s legal team in 2000?
