"Transparency"

If I am telling you the truth, then I welcome a close examination of my claims, my arguments, my data, and my evidence. Transparency increases my credibility, and allows others to come to similar conclusions as I have.

If I am lying to you, then I have to limit your ability to examine the underlying data and evidence, or else my lie will be exposed, and I will not be able to force/convince you to believe and act as I wish.

Secretaries of state are shutting down access to all their election systems and data, and instructing county officials to do the same. Why?

Who is lying to you?
