I'd note that it is the government's job to convince the citizenry, through transparency, that elections are free and fair. A lot of people want to act like it's rather on the citizenry to prove there was fraud. Unfortunately our legal system acts that way, too. There's no mechanism for investigating claims of election fraud outside of lawsuits, which get stopped unless plaintiffs can prove they are likely to succeed before even being able to subpoena evidence.
