"Taking the hit" makes zero sense because that is not the issue.  The most important issue is that the citizens remain confident that elections are fair and that their votes matter.  This is more important than who the winner is.  It has nothing to do with sore losers, or dragging anything on, or anything else.   That's why questionable behavior and highly unusual circumstances have to be investigated. 

Well I think the majority of people are confident that the election was fair. Same is said by official observers that (as of yet) no evidence of tampering have been found. Ofcourse that doesn't mean there wasn't any...in fact I am pretty sure there has been. But can it be proven is another issue. Also another thing ofcourse is would it chance the over all result.

I do not think Trump will fight this too much. I don't think it is worth it.

Simply completing the circuit requires extraordinary focus and determination. Winning it is an accomplishment!

The parallels 40th and 50th are always the South limits  that should not be crossed otherwise risks are too great. Faster but Dangerous. They are called the roaring forties and the howling fiftieths. I love the fear they arouse in the imagination ...

Winds more fierce than those generated by the politicians I'm not talking about!

Islands in those latitudes have always had a bit of interest for me, owing to their remoteness and desolation.

Update:  Attorney General William Barr has authorized federal prosecutors to pursue “substantial allegations” of voting irregularities before the 2020 presidential election is certified.

And so it begins.

Zero credibility for those "substantial allegations".

Is he going to start with trying to find the ballots from Mars? According to Giuliani's "Four Seasons" press conference, those are an issue.

Update:  Attorney General William Barr has authorized federal prosecutors to pursue “substantial allegations” of voting irregularities before the 2020 presidential election is certified.

And so it begins. 

The headlines on the major news stations have underlying implications that allegations have been made that have substance. When the phrase "substantial allegations" is read within the context of the rest of Barr's actual words, it loses all implications; he isn't claiming there are or are not any allegations with substance, and in fact directs the feds to ignore anything they find unless it appears to have substance.

Not everyone will read those headlines in that manner, but a lot of people will. News headlines are very carefully crafted to impart a message that pulls readers in while not actually lying about it. Make it seem more than it really is, or something it really isn't.

Mind-fucking aside, the thing I find important is that what Barr has done is remove the need for law enforcement investigations to 1) wait for the results to be certified and 2) by-pass the criminal election fraud's office and report directly to Barr.

That can grow large, sharp fangs. The rest of it is smoke and mirrors in relation.

Georgia recount has begun and already, there are problems. 

First, the process doesn’t include a review of absentee ballot application signatures and ballot envelopes to ensure they comply with statutory signature verification rules.

Second, the state parties can designate only one reviewer for every 10 audit teams. That makes it impossible for hand count decisions to be reviewed in real time.

Without full transparency, the results can never be trusted.

Without full transparency, the results can never be trusted.

They can never be fully trusted.

They can never be fully trusted.

Full transparency certainly helps.

Only a portion of the fraud in Pennsylvania.

I heard somewhere that the dead have a very fast mail system that defies physics as we know it.

Well, the good news is that there's no substance to the accusations of voter fraud. We had a good election in the USA. Could it have been better? Of course. I'd love for Republican legislatures in Alabama, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, Florida, and other states to stop gerrymandering to dilute the voting power of minorities, to stop raising barriers to voting that target minorities, and to stop using weak criteria as justification for voter purges when they could just as easily utilize modern data best practices to automatically register voters appropriately... but, hey, maybe next time. Overall, it was a good election, no credible evidence of fraud, and the people have spoken. Vox populi, vox dei.

  The judge lays things out eloquently.  So many unanswered questions, so much questionable behavior, and mounting evidence of fraud backed by witnesses willing to testify under oath.  But no matter how strong the case is made, the fraud deniers will look the other way, because their minds are so diseased with hatred for President Trump.  Fraud deniers would sacrifice a strong economy, because of this hatred.   Fraud deniers would accept a weaker military, because of this hatred.  Fraud deniers would allow us to be censored, because of this hatred.  And yes, fraud deniers would even give up our rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, because of this hatred.  Sick!

Typhon: zero proof of fraud such as being described. Also way overreacting on what a Biden administration will deliver. Always happy to have a bipartisan voter registration effort, wish those were standard across all 50 states.
