Do people honestly believe that evidence of electoral fraud is some kind of Russian scheme? Those claims strike me as an attempt to deflect the issue by the increasingly embattled affected candidate. That narrative seems to be designed to imply that the revealed wrongdoing is actually worth ignoring.

You're not the only one; attacking the messenger rather than refuting the message seems to be a common tactic among career politicians.
