But there are countless stories of paper ballots being miraculously found that sway the vote in a close race or ones that are found in a dumpster after a vote count has just taken place.

Everything can be manipulated.

Name for me one instance where either of these caused a major investigation, other than that one Presidential election count in Florida.

If the chain of custody is correct, it should be readily traceable which precincts were the sources of "ballots found in a dumpster".

And besides, "countless stories" are just stories. Show me one that's been investigated by responsible, neutral journalists. Just because everyone knows it's true doesn't mean it's actually true.

Find me a "neutral journalist". I'm guessing that is someone so apathetic, they don't even care about accurate reporting.

Sure, all news is fake news.

I'm fine with sources like CNN, NYT, etc. I'd be even happier with Reuters, or the Economist, or something like that.
