Another trick: Inflate credentials. Claim expertise and argue from authority. Working at a "research university" sounds impressive. But it doesn't make you an expert on everything. Teaching English doesn't make you more of an expert on cybersecurity than cybersecurity experts.

I see a big difference between evidence about what happened in the past and about what may be possible in the future. Claims that circumstantial evidence shows votes were changed are unconvincing & irresponsible, often based on an assumption that polls are definitely accurate 1/2
