The assertion from Chris LaCivita at a Politico event is notable given former President Donald Trump’s refusal to accept the results of the 2020 presidential election.
Abruptly ending the counting was a predicate for all of that.
Remember that Trump had a 150,000 vote lead when he tried to shut down the recount in Pennsylvania. And that state ended up +80,000 for Biden. Florida came down to just above 400 votes before the riot shut down the ballot counting process.
327 votes, actually, but that just makes your point stronger. If they hadn’t stopped the recount with a riot (and also a friendly Florida AG and friendly US Supreme Court), there’s no such thing as President George W Bush.
