Dec 21, 2020 at 16:15	comment	added	matt_black		@fredsbend your edits were good and improved the question. But the new question is still attracting downvotes that don't seem warranted if votes are intended to signify the merits of the question and not the claim it challenges.
Dec 20, 2020 at 21:50	comment	added	user11643		I edited your recent question, and I think it's good now. For me, I wanted to downvote because the title was jumping straight to "fraud" when we can just look at the numbers proposed in the claim and verify. There was a bit of hyperbole that bothered me. "Is any part of the claim remotely credible" and labeling the claimants broadly as "Trump supporters" I feel like invites off-topic commentary, and divisive "them/us" kind of thinking. There was some commentary already, which I deleted.

Dec 20, 2020 at 20:54	comment	added	Joe W		The problem is that many of these claims are being made with no evidence at all and are just attempts to confuse things, cause chaos with information and for some people to make a profit off it all.
