There is in fact no evidence of widespread voter fraud, per elections heads in every state. And poll watchers in Georgia came in from every party and non-partisan groups. You could even watch them admitted to the counts via YouTube live streams. Live from the count to your couch.
There is tremendous evidence of wide spread voter fraud in that there is irrefutable proof that our Republican poll watchers and observers were not allowed to be present in poll counting rooms. Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia and others. Unconstitutional!
