There will never be any "indisputable" facts about fraud, or the absence thereof, in the last election cycle. I have spent 10 years in financial and legal compliance auditing, a significant portion of my now 30-year accounting career. A large part of the practice of Accounting and Auditing is the creation and evaluation of documentary evidence and "paper trails" that can be either exculpatory or damning. We refer to the policies, procedures, rules, and mechanisms that generate this evidence for any transactional process as "Internal Controls".
From my professional perspective, there appear to be very few if any effective controls in place at any level of our elections system. Nor does there appear to be any functionality within the system to produce sufficient documentary evidence to either prove or disprove fraud. Furthermore, the Accounting and Auditing profession considers it to be axiomatic that where there is opportunity for fraud, there IS fraud, and if the opportunity is significant, then the fraud will be significant as well.
The fact that many statistical analyses of the last election cycle noted numerous mathematical anomalies in the election data would tend to buttress this axiom. Unfortunately, this is simply human nature. The bottom line here is that there is no real evidence of election fraud in this cycle because the election system is not designed to produce any such evidence. It's a rather convenient design for those with the moral flexibility to take advantage of it.
And there will be no change in this condition so long as any and every attempt to create reasonable internal controls within the election system are consistently decried as racist or sexist or whatever the pejorative du jour may be, but there is method in that madness as well. And at the end of the day, faith in the veracity of elections will be the ultimate casualty, and this in turn will lead to diminished participation, the very cake the tyrants behind the scenes most want to bake.
