There's no evidence for election fraud due to a combination of officials and media intentionally not searching for it, and events that make it difficult or impossible to determine that fraud actually ocurred.

As an example of the latter: Georgia election officials intentionally deceived journalists and (Republican) observers into leaving a vote-counting event by lying to them and telling them that they were done for the night, then pulling out hidden containers of ballots and counting them[1][2], which resulted in 98% of ballots being for Biden. This was backed up by sworn testimonies from two observers[3], news reports from multiple stations[4](see [2] for links to other news organizations that reported this - none were Fox News), and video footage[1].

The above is not only being ignored by the majority of media outlets (intentional ignorance), but there's no way to prove that voter fraud didn't occur when the voting process was completely unmonitored. I don't believe that the situation was actually illegal[5] - but there's no way that a sane person can look at the above circumstances and conclude that the election officials weren't trying to hide something, and a reasonable person would look at that batch of 98% of ballots being for Biden (which stand out among the counting for that entire evening) and conclude that that was almost certainly fraud.

Moreover, there's either no legal action, or no legal resolution (due to e.g. courts dismissing cases on technicalities, and not even considering an evidentary hearing) for these issues.

Hence, no good evidence for voter fraud only because of intentional ignorance and deceit to prevent such evidence from being obtained.

PostScript: This deceit was committed by the country government. That fits the criteria of "coordinated" at a technical level (i.e. multiple individuals working in concert).
