I surmise that Joe Biden has won both the popular vote and the Electoral College, but I also surmise that Donald Trump will not concede and will fight tooth and nail in the courts to have Biden’s victory invalidated. Actually, this is not technically me surmising, because there is, in fact, evidence to prove that it’s the case.

He will fight it for sure, but too many States are falling against him and I think even some in the Republican party are now willing to cut him loose. It might get ugly, but it will get there.
