They were literally just given the right to exercise their voices in a democratic election. That’s the opposite of silence.

Free speech is more than a vote.

Indeed. Fortunately for us free speech doesn't guarantee access to an active Twitter account.

Courts have looked at this a few times. Some of the cases were dismissed for lack of evidence, not pure procedural matters.

At least one case was even dismissed due to lack of concrete allegations.

Their belief that nobody will listen to their evidence is just another part of their fantasy, another part of the complex of lies.

It's hard to try evidence lawyers won't produce in a court of law. Because they're fucking lying to you but won't to courts - that has consequences. Lying to you has none. At least, none that they care about.

my understanding is that there were numerous occasions where Rudy Guiliani himself went to court and had opportunity to present evidence and presented nothing. Are you being disingenuous when you say "no court has tried evidence" because none was presented to them?

> To date, no court has tried evidence,

From a quick search, multiple courts have judged on merit, and found no compelling evidence provided.

“To date, no court has tried evidence, nor have any administrations publicly committed to audits”

Trump’s team has notched up over 60 losses in court so far.[1]

“They are being told by the other side that there is no evidence, but this is the same other side they think have been lying to them for years, so of course these people will not believe the other side.”

Actually at this point they are being told that by senior leaders from their own side - see the statements from Republicans Brad Raffensperger and Mitch McConnell this week.

This is a lie, there were over thirty court cases.

and isn't the other side remembered for making the same claims for FL and Gore? or is that even part of this now it's gone so far?

Trump and his supporters are lying to people, which is making those people angry. Allowing Trump to continue to lie to people will just continue to make them angrier.
