There seems to be a lot of confusion about a

presidential race being called.

Just because the media calls it does NOT mean votes stopped getting counted.

Once the votes are tabulated they are then sent to the electoral college. In December the EC states how many votes each candidate received. In January congress accepts the ECs tabulation and later in January the new president is inaugurated.

So calling an election does not mean people can contest that not every vote was counted. It doesn't mean that disgusting shallow repukes will not cry and moan about fraud. Hell, the lazy lying steaming pile Hump won in 2016 and he still whined about how much fraud the election had. It is in his M.O. from day one to undermine the election process and repukes, in march step formation, went right along with him.

Be very proud of having won this election. Know that we overcame gerrymandering in congress, voter suppression, and the undermining of the USPS to deliver ballots. Take solace that good people worked to overcome the authoritarian white supremacist dictatorship repukes want. There is still a long way to go. So I will end with this. Never forgive and never forget what repukes want for America. Get out the vote in EVERY election.
