Should the governors and legislators calling for recounts or audits or non cert of the votes be charged with sedition?
Yes.

Not since 1860 has there been such an overt attack on the legitimacy of the United States Government.

"Officials" do not ignore "evidence" when it is real and non-refutable. If they "ignored" the "evidence" it's because it was low quality BS.
