This is going to be a long weekend.
Notice the language used. Not only is it fighting words, it is saying what a lot of people here are saying, about confidence in the electoral process. If they count and do challenges and Trump still loses, then at least confidence in the electoral process is secured. If Democrats can spend years asking about Russian interference in an election, then a few weeks at most to check things when confidence in the system is at a all time low is nothing.
 
For all the warnings of doom, threats of violence, disinformation and distrust amid a global pandemic, America's system of electoral democracy held up just fine The heroes: Hundreds of thousands of poll workers and election administrators who stepped up

After Warnings It Could Go Off the Rails, the Election Actually Ran Smoothly​

Amid the logistical challenges of voting in a pandemic, and despite threats of foreign interference, violence and disinformation, the machinery of democracy held up quite well.
NYtimes with their trademark cold take.

They need to grow a spine and agree to it. If Biden is clearly the fair winner, then they shouldn’t be worried about counting all legal votes.
 
So, we lost. It's unfortunate to admit it. 2016 was a wild ride, but with Georgia gone and the AP calling it, it's over.

I do think that Democratic leadership will be bad for this nation, but that is what the people want so they can have it. Ultimately, the incrementalism will continue and at the very least it probably won't get radically different overnight. I'll be able to ignore it for the most part and slowly get used to all this shit, just like I've slowly gotten used to seeing people be openly racist and sexist toward me in the public sphere and get praised for it.

I never had any power before, and now that Trump is gone, I will never have any power again. But hey, it was nice while it lasted.
