I suggest 4 questions about any such claim before it is given attention.

1. What is the quality of the evidence? Is it hearsay or double hearsay (“I was told by someone that someone told her that ...”)? Courts rightly either exclude or give little weight to such evidence (which can’t be tested).

2. Does the evidence directly show fraud or are we being invited to draw conclusions from facts that could easily have an innocent explanation. (Courts rightly are reluctant to find fraud to be established save on the basis of strong evidence.)

3. Is what is being alleged actually fraud or just failure to comply with procedural rules (such as rights to observe the count)? Failure to comply with procedural rules is very unlikely to lead to votes being excluded (because that would breach the rights of those voters).

4. What is the quantity of fraud being alleged? Is it sufficient to amount to tens of ‘000s of votes, sufficient to cast doubt on the result? (Courts won’t overturn an election won by 10s of ‘000s if only 10s of votes are at issue.)

(Rider: I’m no expert on US electoral law - but these questions seem to me to be pretty basic).
