On nov 20 Georgia certificates its election.
Michigan and Pennsylvania follow suit on the 23rd next Monday.
At that point Biden will be certified in enough of the contested states to officially have 270+ evs and the Narrative about the media not getting to call the election dies.
Where will they go after that?

The whole Biden isnt President Elect argument is tiresome and lacks historical relevance. NBC called Trump president elect the day after the 2016 election and I dont remember anyone ever having issues with this.

(19,253 posts)I don't know about everyone else, but my anxiety around this election is gone. Trump's claims of fraud are going nowhere, he's lost and nothing is going to change that. Next week it is officially over.

that's the next ( and last ) place they can claim that the election will be "contested".

(29,238 posts)I'm saying this is the next event in the election process which the nutbags on the right will claim that "Trump wins!" if only the electors ignore the "fake election results".
so we need to be prepared for another month of "contested election" crap.
I don't think even the PA legislature is going to try some idiotic move to seat a Trump Slate for the electoral college... but this was a game plan some weeks ago.
If the vote count in PA was closer, I think they would try it... not so much now, especially since that alone wouldn't be enough to get HairFuror to 270.
