There is so much proof of fraud that people are turning a blind eye to it's baffling. Not only are there thousands of affidavits, the violation of Benford's law also raises red flags. Why would anyone want to deny signature verification, delete voting data, block windows, bar observsers, etc. if they had nothing to hide? Naturally the media is going to go to bat for the side they support, as they always do, but the evidence is overwhelming that something fishy occurred. Downvoting me because you disagree won't change the facts.

This is just false, as has been repeatedly examined in various courts. If you have non-debunked evidence to the contrary, when everyone else has gone looking and found nothing, perhaps you ought to present it?

I'm not going to argue with you as you seem to have a completely fixed viewpoint, which I am assume no amount of evidence will shake. You can do the research yourself if you are so inclined. You reference the dismissed court cases, as if courts solely prove or disprove the validity of information--regardless, I'll leave you with this:

"Republicans argue that since their observers couldn’t watch the vote count, they can’t provide that evidence and have asked for discovery. Still, while the courts have agreed that irregularities have occurred, they weren’t willing to grant discovery unless Republicans first present enough evidence of fraud to overturn the election. Republicans thus faced a kind of Catch 22."

> no amount of evidence

Surely some amount greater than zero would be a start, however. Citing statistics isn't a great first choice, since it's so easy to retroactively fit statistics to whatever outcome you want to see. Fraud on the scale you are alleging would leave a hell of a lot of evidence that couldn't possibly be completely swept under the rug. A misapplication of Benford's Law is a really weak argument.

Which vote counts were they unable to watch?

Not all sets of numbers follow Benford's law. https://youtu.be/etx0k1nLn78?t=442
