“Attorney General William Barr declared Tuesday the U.S. Justice Department has uncovered no evidence of widespread voter fraud that could change the outcome of the 2020 election… Barr told the [Associated Press] that U.S. attorneys and FBI agents have been working to follow up specific complaints and information they’ve received, but ‘to date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have effected a different outcome in the election.’” (AP News)
“Barr told The Associated Press on Tuesday that he had appointed U.S. Attorney John Durham as a special counsel in October under the same federal regulations that governed special counsel Robert Mueller in the original Russia probe… The current investigation, a criminal probe, had begun very broadly but has since ‘narrowed considerably’ and now ‘really is focused on the activities of the Crossfire Hurricane [Russia] investigation within the FBI,’ Barr said. He said he expects Durham would detail whether any additional prosecutions will be brought and make public a report of the investigation’s findings. Durham’s investigation has resulted in one prosecution so far: a guilty plea by a former FBI lawyer who admitted altering an email.”

The right generally accepts Barr’s claims regarding fraud and applauds Durham’s appointment.
The left is encouraged by Barr’s statements on fraud and willing to allow the Durham investigation to run its course.
