Sounds like you have a problem with the courts, not with me. I haven't tried to judge anyone's hearts and minds. That's nonsense. If someone believes the QAnon silliness, then I don't need to know the hearts and minds of the those people to say that they're decieved.
Similarly, if dozens of judges independently hold hearings for potential cases about election fraud in order to determine if there is enough evidence to have a trial (which is standard practice in a court of law) and then decide that there is not enough evidence, then I believe those judges, and my belief is strengthened by the fact that dozens of them are saying the same thing. And if some of those hearings ended with cases thrown out for procedural reasons, then shame on those lawyers for not being able to navigate the rules of their own profession. I do not think I'm going out on much of a limb at all if I use what actual judges have written and said to help me sort through what I think about voter fraud claims. I'm comfortable with the reasonableness of that approach.
Not sure this has been productive. You ask questions. I answer. You send disapproving frowny face. Sounds like you don't really need my thougts anway.
