> My point was the opposite, people should be free to make allegations of vote fraud, as they are to allege that it was fair. Even broadly speaking, there are two separate buckets for each claim: 1. allegations of voter fraud supported by evidence (circumstantial or otherwise) 2. wild allegations of voter fraud 3. allegations of fair election results supported by evidence (circumstantial or otherwise) 4. wild allegations of fair election results There were myriad examples of #2 circulating around the election, many debunked even before they started to spread more widely. I see no reason to call these claims anything other than misinformation. Given the incentives for each party after the initial vote tally of the election, there happened to be a lot more examples of #2 than anything else. But the exact same logic applies to #4, esp. in authoritarian countries where that kind of misinformation is more common. Edit: typo
