Wisconsin's vote recount confirms win by Biden..
https://www.chicagotribune.com/election-...story.html
MADISON, WIS. — "Wisconsin finished a recount of its presidential results on Sunday, confirming Democrat Joe Biden’s victory over President Donald Trump in the key battleground state. Trump vowed to challenge the outcome in court even before the recount concluded.
Dane County was the second and last county to finish its recount, reporting a 45-vote gain for Trump. Milwaukee County, the state’s other big and overwhelmingly liberal county targeted in a recount that Trump paid for, reported its results Friday, a 132-vote gain for Biden.
Taken together, the two counties barely budged Biden’s winning margin of about 20,600 votes, giving the winner a net gain of 87 votes.
“As we have said, the recount only served to reaffirm Joe Biden’s victory in Wisconsin,” Danielle Melfi, who led Biden’s campaign in Wisconsin, said in a statement to The Associated Press."

No, but Donald drew Canadian ire earlier this month.

Trump says his election challenges probably won't make it to the Supreme Court
https://www.cnbc.com/2020/11/29/trump-ac...ourt-.html
KEY POINTS: - President Donald Trump acknowledged his vanishing path to overturning the results of the 2020 election in court on Sunday during his first full interview since losing to President-elect Joe Biden earlier this month.
- "Well, the problem is, it's hard to get into the Supreme Court," Trump said on Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures," after host Maria Bartiromo asked him when he expected his challenges to make it to the justices.

Usually, the "hoping for a Hail Mary" stage means the game is over for practical purposes, prior to the official fact.

Yesterday in the Fox News interview/rant he suggested his own Justice Dept and the FBI are behind the election fraud. He basically just throws any old conspiracy theory out there hoping something sticks. It's the pitiful sign of a man terrified of losing.
Arizona officially certifies election votes and confirms Biden as winner..

Federal judge reapproves emergency order blocking Georgia from wiping state voting machines
So Georgia was going to wipe the voting data (forensic evidence) from their voting machines, the federal judge initially issued a restraining order to bar them from resetting machines, the judge then reversed himself because the counties in possession of the machines were not named defendants and could not be seized for forensic audit, then the judge allowed the plaintiff to amend her complaint to include county election officials, and reissued the restraining order.
But:
According to the supervisor, Atlanta election officials have already wiped their voting machines.

Is it the count, fraudulent ballots, voting process/machines/workers, fixing of election, hackers, unlawful Democrat interference/deception, different strokes for different states, mail-in ballots, news agencies that’s worthy of a Watergate type investigation? Did I forget some? Anyway, Trump isn’t going away no matter what. He has resources and friends in high places. Hope Joe likes it doggy-style because Trump is going to be right up his ass for the next four years, as long as Joe lives or stays mentally healthy.

Our voting process needs reform, this is such an embarrassment. The integrity of the process has been destroyed if you ask me. This isn’t to say that I disbelieve Biden won the election, but I don’t feel confident in the process which led to his “win.”

Our voting system is fine. The only embarrassment is that we elected a pathological liar for our president who is attacking the democratic process as fraudulent just because he lost the election. The sooner he and his tweets disappear from the news cycle the better for all of us.

Were people who voted for Joe concerned that he might not be fully cognizant, believe he was fully cognizant or not care one way or the other? Would people vote for Joe thinking he might not make 4 years and vote hoping Kamala eventually got the job? IOW not truly vote for Joe?
Personally I saw many videos where Joe struggled to put sentences together, got lost in thought or simply seemed lacking in speaking skill. Surely many voters were aware or had seen the videos.
Joe is off to a bad start. Fumbling words from the Christian Bible and breaking bones playing with a mutt. Ya, could happen to anyone.
I’ve personally witness folks die with Alzheimer's and for Joe, I actually feel sorry for him.

I feel for him, too. He’s really just the left’s placeholder ...he served his purpose which was to beat Trump. His entire campaign ran on hate - keeping Democrats fired up in anger, not really patriotism. Which is sad. I think Biden is better than that, so it’s a shame he ran that type of campaign.
Kamala Harris will likely become President and the radical plans of the Democratic Party will take shape. But, we should take one day at a time. It doesn’t do any good to fear monger, no matter what side you’re on.
A decent Independent or Libertarian could rise up out of the ashes, and save us all.
