> I don't see the equivalence. One of those has the potential of causing very immediate panic and potential injury

Wide scale misinformation about election fraud could result in a mini civil war. I don't see how you could be so sanguine about that.




If only there was some way of auditing an election to calm peoples fears.


Which has been done right? Practically all the states have certified their results, after recounts and legal challenges heard, etc. Google has left it until now for the precise reason that "legitimate" scrutiny was taking place.

At this point continuing to assert wide scale fraud escalates beyond "reasonable" and up to the level of "recklessness" that brings it into parity with "yelling fire".


It’s not reckless. It’s criminal. And all the people that are spreading this misinformation are complicit of sedition.
