- Arguably unconstitutional changes to state voting laws less than six months before election day.
- Authorized election observers banned from their designated polling places on election day.
- Cessation of ballot counting on election day.
- Waiting until observers leave to count large numbers of ballots that were hidden under a table all day.
- Hundreds of thousands of ballots with no chain of custody records.
- Double standards about who is allowed to challenge vote certifications. Democrats challenged Trump's election and both of Bush 43's elections as is permitted in the Constitution. When Republicans did the same in 2021 they were threatened with impeachment and removed from committees.
I'm sure I'm forgetting other reasons to be uneasy.
None of these issues are true in Colorado, or Mesa County.
For other states, all these issues were addressed in more than one lawsuit each, and all such lawsuits were rejected.
The suits didn't get filed in one state, and appear before one judge. Multiple states, multiple judges. A lot of the suits were appealed, and failed on appeal, too. To be uneasy about this is to believe in a far reaching, many hundreds of participant conspiracy.
Further, the states in which these concerns were raised are all swing states. This seems suspicious in and of itself. Why not raise concerns about procedures in Colorado? It's a vote by mail state, and even in Colorado Springs districts, there was a big swing to Biden from 2020 results. Seems like you'd take on the easy places to prove a conspiracy, and you'd raise legit concerns. But no, swing states are the only places, it looks like trying to game the refs, to borrow a sports metaphor.
John Kerry conceded quickly in 2004, partly to avoid the weirdness that followed the 2000 election.
Gore as Vice President presided over the congressional vote to certify the EC vote. Which he lost. Nothing like Jan 6 2021 happened and the vote was substantially closer and fishier. I think the double standard lies elsewhere.

Presumably they had in mind the objection to the certification of Ohio's electoral vote in 2004, which Wikipedia says was "only the second congressional objection to an entire state's electoral delegation in U.S. history"[0] (the previous instance being in 1877).
I'm not sure about the other examples, but it is true that the House of Representatives voted to remove Marjorie Taylor Greene of her committee assignments. That may have been for reasons other than simply believing the spurious claims of election fraud, though.[1]
