As a criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor, she seems focused on creating reasonable doubt. To change an election, you need more than a reasonable doubt, you have to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that there was fraud or illegality that changed the reported outcome.

Other way around. The burden of proof is much lower in a civil case (preponderance of evidence) than in a criminal case (beyond a reasonable doubt).
Think OJ trials.
“Beyond a reasonable doubt’” is the standard criminal cases and is a significantly higher standard than preponderance of the evidence which is the standard for civil cases.
Preponderance of the evidence means greater than 50% certainty. Nobody knows for sure what beyond a reasonable doubt is, but it's certainly above 90% certainty. So preponderance of the evidence is a much lower burden of proof than beyond a reasonable doubt.
NOTHING burgers since 2016.
