One of the most common retorts from lefties is "You did not prove it so it must not have been true." That argument is ridiculous, but lefties have found it very effective in fooling people into believing lies and rejecting the truth. Let's apply the demand for proof to their own dishonest claims about voting fraud.
Here is an article that came our just days after the election. The article was designed to fool the unintelligent into believing investigators had thoroughly examined every scrap of voter fraud evidence and found it all to be lies. Courts rejected voting fraud cases on the popular but erroneous assumption that voting fraud had already been disproven and any more investigations or court hearings involving voter fraud were just a waste of time.

No, Dominion voting machines did not delete Trump votes. Prove it.

President Trump on Thursday spread
new baseless claims (prove the claims are baseless) about
Dominion Voting Systems, which makes software that local governments around the nation use to help run their elections, fueling a conspiracy theory that Dominion “
software glitches” changed vote tallies in
Michigan and Georgia last week.
The Dominion software was used in only two of the five counties that had problems in Michigan and Georgia, (that proves there were problems) and in every instance there
was a detailed explanation for what had happened. In all of the cases, software did not affect the vote counts. (Unproven assertions do not serve as proof Trump was wrong.)
In the two Michigan counties that had mistakes, (more evidence of problems with Dominion machines) the inaccuracies were because of human errors, not software problems, according to the Michigan Department of State, county officials and election-security experts. (Commonplace appeals to authority fallacies are certainly not qualified as proof.) Only one of the two Michigan counties used Dominion software. (So? How does that prove Dominion machines were not corrupted?)
Issues in three Georgia counties had other explanations. (Unsupported explanations for the errors are not proof the errors did not occur or were void of criminal intent.) In one county, an apparent problem with Dominion software delayed officials’ reporting of the vote tallies, but did not affect the actual vote count. In two other counties, a separate company’s software slowed poll workers’ ability to check-in voters. (These are more instances of Dominion failures couple with unsupported claims of operators who had motivation to hide the fraud if fraud was indeed involved. That proves nothing in support of the statements by suspected corrupt election officials.)
