> Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof, and if the evidence presented makes demonstrably false claims, then we're done with that evidence, and should frown upon the person who presented it. In a court of law, all claims and evidence are evaluated on their own merits. election/voter fraud as a claim is hardly extraordinary. People are charged and convicted of such crimes every election cycle. In a civil matter, a case is decided based on the preponderance of the evidence, not on the extraordinary nature of it. I, too, will accept the outcome of the courts. What other recourse is there? But that doesn't mean the conversation is over. You can walk away. You can't shut people up. Well, you can try, and some actively are as we speak, but I vehemently oppose such efforts.

> all claims and evidence are evaluated on their own merits That is demonstrably not true. There is a legal definition of what an expert witness is, and their testimony has more weight. > election/voter fraud as a claim is hardly extraordinary. On the scale being claimed, enough to overturn multiple States' General Elections, yes it, is an extraordinary claim. > People are charged and convicted of such crimes every election cycle No, people are not "charged and convicted" of ELECTION FRAUD every election cycle. Some small number of people have been convicted of VOTER FRAUD. Please do not conflate the two, as the scope of their impact is completely different. > You can't shut people up. I literally ASKED why people are still raising one specific objection. No one has attempted an actual defense of that specific objection. They have moved the goalposts to other objections. It is unreasonable to bring up objections to Dominion voting machines in Georgia in the 2020 election. Anyone who does so should shut the hell up, or offer new evidence.
