   “To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have affected a different outcome in the election,” [Attorney General Barr] told the Associated Press on Tuesday. “Most claims of fraud are very particularized to a particular set of circumstances or actors or conduct. They are not systemic allegations, and those have been run down — they are being run down. Some have been broad and potentially cover a few thousand votes. They have been followed up on.”

   We have many witnesses swearing under oath they saw crimes being committed in connection with voter fraud. As far as we know, not a single one has been interviewed by the DOJ. The Justice Department also hasn’t audited any voting machines or used their subpoena powers to determine the truth. [President Trump's legal team said in response].
   ...
   [Barr] also appeared to shoot down allegations made by one-time Trump legal team lawyer Sidney Powell, who has repeatedly claimed that millions of votes were flipped from Trump to Biden by voting machines nationwide. “There’s been one assertion that would be systemic fraud and that would be the claim that machines were programmed essentially to skew the election results. And the DHS and DOJ have looked into that, and so far, we haven’t seen anything to substantiate that," the attorney general said.
