    I can't speak for anyone else, but I certainly didn't expect or believe that Trump loyalists would just accept a Biden victory. Trump set up his defense before the voting even began...and you've run with it. As expected.

    You have every right to fight Biden/Harris tooth and nail - for the next four years. It is expected.

    Do you understand what the word majority means?
    If he had the majority he wouldn’t be behind 5 million votes

    I think there is only one election where the big three, ABC, CBS, and NBC blew the call.

    Historically speaking, it is traditional to call the projected winner 'president elect' and you are just nitpicking.

    But, only with this president, is it an issue. In fact, only with this president, are all the plethora of issues, issues.

    I'll let the process of our system play out and reserve my judgment until then. The media made a joke of themselves in 2016. I'd sooner trust a rattlesnake than the media/pravda. And your welcome for the first sentence, now you know.

    In 2016 I thought it was very unlikely that the election results in 2016 would be found to be wrong. But I was fine with us double checking our numbers. The same goes for this election. We should declare Biden the winner for now but check our numbers in the mean time.

    And there is nothing wrong with that, especially with all the fraud allegations swirlling amidst the largest mail in election in history?

    Trump has that right as well as the American people, to maintain faith in the integrity of our process of elections. It seems many on the left have an issue with that.

    These fraud allegation actually need to be proven and this has been a problem with past allegations. Since the election is so close, I don't have a problem double-checking our results in a fair a unpartisan way like we did in 2016.

    You are forgetting the obvious. There are serious efforts to fundraise based on these lawsuits, but less than half the money has to go to paying for the lawsuits, the rest can go to paying off campaign debts or whatever is in the fine print. Remember that all these republican politicians who ran expensive campaigns and are sitting on these ballots can write an amicus brief to a Trump suit showing standing and voila - a justification to fundraise! Its no wonder that so many Republicans who ran, are not pushing Trump to concede. They have a monied interest in those lawsuits continuing and trump supporters getting out that mastercard.

    They won't care too much if they eventually lose, if they can bring in major dollars they can syphon off.

    One wonders, with the scant amount of campaigning Biden did, where are all those donations?

    Its actually more expensive to campaign in an all media driven election like this one in a pandemic, because you have to buy more time as coverage of events is curtailed, especially when you have to be prepared to defend against suits in every state.
    How many lawsuits has he been filing?

    What liberals are expecting that? We've had four years to learn about Trump's following - I can't imagine any of us would be surprised by the fight back against Biden.

    I figure, Republicans are competent enought to have participated in the election process. Prior to the election. During the election. After the election.
    But maybe Republicans are not competent. Maybe the gov of Ga, is not competent. Didn't he head the election process in Ga just 2 yrs ago before he became gov? Now the Republicans of Ga are total incompetents?
