Where are the debunkings of the debunkings? Show me those. They do not exist.

Why would anyone debunk the debunkers? It would be like having a conversation with you. But I will humor you on this for what it is worth, which won't be much.

From one of your favorite sources, FactCheck.org: Evidence Gaps in ‘2000 Mules’

"...Aaron Striegel, a professor of computer science and engineering at the University of Notre Dame who has analyzed data from smartphones, told us the geotracking data used by True the Vote are just not accurate enough to reach the kind of definitive conclusions it did.

“Could it have happened? Yeah, it could have happened,” Striegel said. “But is it likely to have happened? Not really. The data could tell you it’s possible, but that’s all it’s telling you with any reasonable certainty.”

Cooper Quintin, a senior staff technologist at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which describes itself as “the leading nonprofit organization defending civil liberties in the digital world,” told us the accuracy of geolocation data can vary widely based on numerous factors that include signal strength, the type of cellphone being used, and atmospheric conditions like whether the cellphone is in a dense urban area or not.

But generally, he said, GPS data from apps on cellphones are only accurate to around 40 feet. Research published by the University of Georgia in 2019 concluded that iPhone GPS was only accurate in a range of 7 to 13 meters (23 to 43 feet).

“That’s not accurate enough to tell if someone stopped at a ballot box, or if someone simply walked near the box,” Quintin said. “If it is a high-traffic area, I can think of any number of legitimate reasons why someone would be in the vicinity of a ballot box.”

Delivery drivers, poll workers, election officials — all might have reason to be in the vicinity of numerous drop boxes, he said. Certainly, he said, it doesn’t provide enough evidence to uphold the group’s claims about 2,000 mules, he said. And, he noted, “they have the burden of proof.”

And that is one of the "debunkings" you are ignornant of, which surprises me , because sites like Factcheck.org and Mediaite (Not to mention Reuters, NYT, and Washington Post) appear to be your favorites. I am surprised I don't see Rolling Stone or Politico in there.

Point is, GPS data is far, far more accurate than 40 feet, which is considered accurate enough to convict people and put them in jail.

But carrying on discourse like this with the likes of you is a losing proposition, because there will never be any level of proof good enough for anything if you have an emotional attachment to a contrary view, which you clearly do.
