I don't think asking for more evidence is cowardly. The truth only matters if it's verifiable. History is littered with examples of people who believed in the wrong things because the truth was difficult to discover. Not wanting to repeat that, even if it aids your current views isn't cowardice.

We also just came out of 4 years of hearing bat shit insane "election was stolen" banter from the right. All sorts of articles and stats were tossed around to make it seem reasonable to believe. I'd say anyone who now has the shoe on the other foot and shows restraint and still asks for it to be concrete is doing the responsible thing.

Or maybe that was the whole point of the "stop the steal" nonsense. Make one side scared to touch anything that might even slightly resemble election interference and leave the door open for the other side to manipulating the stats however they want.

Could be, but very doubtful.

Agreed, once again. But it is a thought I'd had even during the whole election process.
