Not sure if a judge would accept that some ballots having barcodes in a different place is evidence of fraud, given that different counties need different things on their ballots. There's also absolutely no supporting evidence in the article for the claim that the barcode would cause the machine to reject the votes, let alone the claim that that would result in fraud.
Given that the evidence for fraud is overwhelming, why are we relying on vague articles like this that take a perfectly normal situation, like different counties having slightly different ballots, and extrapolating that fraud occurred? Don't we actually have some direct evidence of fraud?
Short answer: No. There is no direct evidence of fraud. If there was, any one of the 50+ legal challenges would have been heard. Instead, they were all dismissed.
What do you mean? There's been loads of cases where evidence was heard, the judges considered it, but the n felt it wasn't compelling (to put it mildly) and then dismissed.
Here are some cases where the judges considered the evidence, I've also included a direct link to the judgements and quotes from the judge on the evidence.
There's lots more, but I think you get the idea. If you read the judgements it's clear the judges have heard and considered the evidence, its just they felt it was rubbish.
What gave you the idea that plaintiffs haven't been given the chance to present evidence?
That's fake news. In some instances, the cases were tossed because of procedural issues, but in many of them, they were thrown out because of a lack of evidence. There's been nearly 60 cases at this point...
