The progression towards Truth.
1. There can be no suspicion without observation
2. There can be no investigation without suspicion
3. There can be no proof without investigation.
Note that Truth is not attainable if this process is interrupted at any point.
So when a group cries "There is no proof," they assume you are too stupid to catch on to where they interrupted the process.
In the matter of allegations of election fraud, it appears the process was interrupted between 1. and 2. by claiming the opposition group is paranoid, thus stifling investigation.
That technique has been used very successfully in the past.
