Probably cheaper to give up than keep fighting.
We can't prove fraud because everybody is circling the wagons. Clearly, there were shenanigans.
[9-Jul-2021] New Evidence Indicates Enough Illegal Votes In Georgia To Tip 2020
Both an audit and a recount confirmed Biden’s victory, but ignored in the process was evidence that nearly 35,000 Georgians had potentially voted illegally.

I'm tired of debunking all these false claims, so forgive me if I don't give the amount of sourcing that I normally do. The fact remains, all of these have been debunked, and well debunked, despite the claims of the Federalist.
In this first case, the claims that there were too many people that died or moved was manipulated and false. Like the other, similar, lists done in other states, this ignores things like military members who moved out of state that remain legal residents (military members don't have to change residency when moving). In my years in the Air Force, my residence remained the state I was born in the entire time I was in the military, despite living in other states (having changed my address). In fact, my photo ID at one point had no photo, merely a "valid with no photo" where the photo should be because I hadn't lived in my home state long enough that my old ID had expired.
And with several large bases in Georgia, not to include residents of Georgia who joined the military and moved out of state because of that, there are thousands alone that had valid reasons for moving out of state. Also these lists tend to only look at a name of a person that died or moved, then claim everyone with that name was an "invalid" voter, it won't look at the address. So, if you have a John Smith that died, despite their being 25 people named "John Smith" in the voter database, it will tend to strike all of them as being either dead or moved. Last, if you recall, there was a claim that
This is one of the things Georgia (using the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and election officials) specifically looked at.
Just as one example, here are three voters that the Trump campaign specifically stated were dead who Georgia found voted legally. It is also worth noting that Georgia was a member of the state database that recorded when voters moved out of state and registered in a new state, as well as removing dead people from the voting roles, and had deleted those that had moved and dead people from the voting roles prior to the election.
Mark Zuckerberg also gamed the election in key districts:
[4-Nov-2022] No ‘ZuckBucks’ Is Why Georgia Won’t Be Blue In 2022
Georgia received more funding from the Center for Tech and Civic Life than any other state in 2020, but now such private funding is banned.

Except it misrepresents what Zuckerberg did -- which was essentially to fund get out the vote campaigns. It didn't create "voter fraud" but merely was a campaign to get people to register and to get out the vote. It is also worth noting, despite the claims in the article, Georgia still "was Blue" in 2022, with Sen. Warnock winning re-election, despite the absence of Zuckerberg money.
Then there is the video:
[7-Dec-2020] The Georgia Vote-Counting Video Was Not 'Debunked.' Not Even Close
A 'fact' 'checking' outfit claimed to debunk explosive evidence for Republicans' claims of significant election problems in Georgia. It didn't.

Who cares as long as my guy wins, no?
Interesting that they talk about the things that were debunked but ignore them after that, they don't mention that those debunked items were debunked: specifically, "began pulling trunks containing thousands of ballots from underneath a table with a long tablecloth and running them through machines" -- which was categorized by the Trump campaign as illegal ballots pulled out from under the tables.
Yes, observers were told they were shutting down for the night, because that is what they honestly thought was happening. If you watch more video (video cameras were running the entire time that ballots were in the room), you can see the workers pack up the ballots in the "trunks" (cases designed to hold and transfer ballots securely) and put them under the table. However, once word got to state election officials, the state election officials called and told them they had to continue counting, they could not go home. This is verified by the State of Georgia and various election officials; they didn't lie to observers, election workers in the arena honestly believed they were going home.
Additionally, the observers should not have left. Their job is to ensure the security of the ballots -- that all procedures were followed -- and that should include ensuring they were packed up correctly and that no "tampering" was done as things were shutting down. As such, had they actually done their jobs, they would have known counting was resuming. Last, it is unclear exactly how long observers were not in the room (or that none were there). While many did leave, and a cut at one time to observers in the video showed the observer area largely empty, they should have returned as soon as they realized counting had resumed (which was specifically mentioned in the news reports of cable news following the vote count). Yes, a mistake was made, but it was not to get rid of observers but an honest mistake by the election workers in the arena; they honestly believed they were going home for the night.
Last, the claims that this cause a bad count ignores the fact that Georgia did three separate recounts, including a hand recount -- and there was no large discrepancy between the vote totals from the vote count in this arena and the recounts of those same votes; no votes were counted multiple times, there were no "fake ballots," instead they did a true and accurate count.
