Then this should be proven in a court of law and this should be the main focus of the recount and protest.

Actually, the first step is the Protest Phase, and there the burden is to demonstrate that the 'irregularities' had an effect on the outcome of the election. Best case...a new election; worst case...Democrats on notice that Voter Fraud DNC 'Terry McCaulliff'(spelling) style is going to be challenged every time; and where possible prosecuted.

This is going to be a difficult threshold to reach...not fooling ourselves in the least.

Yep, very difficult. Why not do what Thune did. Forget about the fraud and run again in two years.
