If you falsely yell "fire" in a crowded theater, you will be held responsible for the resulting consequences, even though the other theater patrons could verify your claim independently.

So the solution is to make it so that nobody can yell "fire" in a crowded theater? Hopefully there's never a fire.

They're trying very hard to create that fire using the stuffing in the seats as we speak. So far it hasn't worked because some people still have their heads screwed on. But it's not for lack of trying. About 10 people stand between a full blown attempt at dictatorship and a functioning democracy.

Are you arguing with bad faith, or do you think that's what parent commenter meant?

Are you arguing in bad faith, or do you actually think making it impossible for people to effectually accuse the winners of a election of election fraud is a good idea?

No, but they should have some evidence, especially being the sitting president, don't you think? This is a coup attempt.. and they have nothing to justify it.
So are YOU arguing in bad faith to ignore this very obvious problem?
No one is saying accusations with evidence and merit cannot be made. They are saying that after losing over 50 lawsuits and having substantiated exactly zero claims, then we are losing patience with offering good faith.

I don't understand how "bad faith" applies here.
