There's a difference.

There is evidence[1, 2, 3] of Russian interference in the 2016 election. There is evidence[4, 5, 6, 7] of interference by Republicans in the 2018 gubernatorial race in Georgia. That content will not be taken down because it is true.

There is no evidence[8] of fraud in the 2020 election. Trump's own lawyers have admitted[9, 10, 11] that there is no evidence of widespread voter fraud.

Judicial elections are also problematic - we've seen what lobbyists can do to Congress, and there's no reason to expect them to be more tame in a scenario where the Judiciary is also elected.

It's crucial be able to hold government officials accountable. However, I think your argument is based on the premise that people only decide to kill others as a result of a carefully reasoned decision. This is not the case. There are plenty of legitimate ways one can take action after being wronged by the government, from appealing to a higher court to going to the media; killing people is not one of these.

People who kill others in situations like these rarely come to their decision based on fact and rationality. As much as we need more accountability, putting government officials - or anyone else - in a potentially life-threatening situation at a time where armed terrorists regularly make death threats based on baseless conspiracies is not a good way to do that.
