The more that goes on the harder it is to hide.
Kelly beat Masters by more than 125,000 votes. Do you really think they "harvested" that many votes?
Why is it so hard to prove?
Well, it is true that it can never be proven there was no fraud, or very little at least. It is hard to prove a negative. In my view, those making the claims have the onus on them to provide the evidence.
First of all, you didn't answer my question: How can you possibly know how much of this and other dubious fraud was going on?
Why is it so hard to prove? You have to prove it a court of law under the rules of evidence that an illegal act occurred, and this law was broken with deliberate intent rather than by mistake or accident. Kinda hard to do that, no? How do you prove harm? How do you show standing? What laws does a judge have at his/her disposal to define what is fraudulent? It's obviously different from one state to another, but my point is that there are real reasons why so few cases of voter/election fraud are brought, and there has to be a basis for a lawsuit. But the absence of that basis does not mean there was little or no fraud at all, it only means it can't be proved in a court of law.
In my view, those making the claims have the onus on them to provide the evidence.
Sure, but there's evidence that will stand up in court and evidence that won't. Which does not mean the evidence that won't should be summarily discarded as meaningless, nothing to see here so let's move on. And should we assume that the hundreds of claims of fraud was all there was? How much fraud went undetected? None you say? That's quite an assumption, one that a lot of other people will not make. Some might say what we don't know eclipses what was reported. Conspiracy you say. OK, but just because a person is paranoid does not mean that somebody isn't out to get them. Meaning that one cockroach usually means a bunch more than you haven't seen yet. Distrust born of dishonesty will do that to people.
There are a ton of people out there, mostly MAGA, that flat out do not trust the recent elections and definitely not the current gov't. You can dismiss them as deranged, deluded, and misguided, and that's fine. You're entitled to your opinion, but so are they. And I don't think they are going to change their minds anytime soon, and people like you don't want to even try to deal with their concerns. Prove it you say, knowing full well how hard it is, and then writing them all off as nutcases. And nobody wants to walk a mile in anyone else's shoes. I don't think that's going to work out very well for anybody.
