The "media doesn't determine the president" narrative dies next Monday

[Takket]

On nov 20 Georgia certificates it’s 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?

1. Electoral vote 12/14

Then Congress certifies 1/6/21 I think?

The whole “Biden isn’t President Elect” argument is tiresome and lacks historical relevance. NBC called Trump president elect the day after the 2016 election and I don’t remember anyone ever having issues with this.

5. No one ever has. Republicans suck on all levels.

2. Can't wait

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.

3. Electoral College hasn't voted yet!

Dec 14, 2020...

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

4. Not going to happen.

6. Indeed. Rump would need 37 "faithless electors"

In previous elections, three faithless electors would have made headline news.

10. I don't think there will be one faithless elector...much less 37...

7. what's not going to happen?

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.

11. Agree...but He may hold until January. The GOP are cowards and show their contempt

for the country.

9. It won't be contested in December...should have been more clear.

8. 2021? Look 2020 was so bad* let's just do a do over

*not Trump’s fault
