The NYT article itself is accurate, the headline, like most online headlines, is misleading clickbait. No voter fraud? If we look I'm sure we can find at least one instance somewhere in any given presidential election. But when we read on we find what they really mean is really no evidence of voter fraud that would have impacted the result. In that they are on solid ground.

There's no evidence of widespread voter fraud. Yes voter fraud happens - and the FBI said in Sept or Oct that it's rare and only happens at local levels.

Like the story I mentioned the other day of a man, registered Republican, who tried to use his dead mother to file an absentee ballot and vote twice. Once under his name, once under hers.
He was caught, arrested, charged and convicted.

That's the type of voter fraud that happens but it's not widespread and it's not at the national level.

Yes, the failure is in using the words "No Voter Fraud" when what they mean is, not enough voter fraud to change the outcome. The first aspect of voter fraud (the principle of it, the wrong-ness, the crime of it in every instance is ignored in these discussions...and only the 2nd aspect (whether or not the fraud turned the election) is discussed. Why? Should we treat all crimes this way? There are other (what shall I call them?) "inconsistencies" that may or may not be fraudulent, depending on whether the inconsistencies (lost or changed ballots, for example) were intentional or merely normal human error. Not all of these will meet the legal standard of fraud, but the numbers are much higher.

Yeah like some dude on YouTube is credible of supporting a Trump victory. What matters is judges are throwing out cases due to the lack of evidence which highlights the fact Trump does not have legs to stand on. They are throwing the kitchen sink at the wall and hope something sticks but that endeavor is a miserable failure. Bottom lie is Trump and the GOP continue to be liars.
