Karl Rove: This Election Result Won't be Overturned

Mr. Trump is now pursuing legal challenges in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona and Nevada, and there will be an automatic recount in Georgia, given Mr. Biden’s 0.29-point lead there. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is correct that Mr. Trump is “100% within his rights” to go to court over concerns about fraud and transparency. But the president’s efforts are unlikely to move a single state from Mr. Biden’s column, and certainly they’re not enough to change the final outcome.

There are only three statewide contests in the past half-century in which recounts changed the outcome: the 1974 New Hampshire Senate race, the 2004 Washington governor’s contest, and the 2008 Minnesota Senate election. The candidates in these races were separated, respectively, by 355, 261 and 215 votes after Election Day.

These margins aren’t much like today’s. Mr. Biden led Wednesday in Wisconsin by 20,540 votes, Pennsylvania by 49,064, Michigan by 146,123, Arizona by 12,614, Nevada by 36,870 and Georgia by 14,108.

To win, Mr. Trump must prove systemic fraud, with illegal votes in the tens of thousands. There is no evidence of that so far. Unless some emerges quickly, the president’s chances in court will decline precipitously when states start certifying results, as Georgia will on Nov. 20, followed by Pennsylvania and Michigan on Nov. 23, Arizona on Nov. 30, and Wisconsin and Nevada on Dec. 1. By seating one candidate’s electors, these certifications will raise the legal bar to overturn state results and make it even more difficult for Mr. Trump to prevail before the Electoral College meets Dec. 14.

TV networks showed jubilant crowds in major cities celebrating Mr. Biden’s victory; they didn’t show the nearly equal number of people who mourned Mr. Trump’s defeat. U.S. politics remains polarized and venomous. Closing out this election will be a hard but necessary step toward restoring some unity and political equilibrium. Once his days in court are over, the president should do his part to unite the country by leading a peaceful transition and letting grievances go.

It's time to move on. We've got elections to win in Georgia.

We all knew it was over days ago. The only people that help out hope it wasn’t were Idiots. It’s good that you’ve finally faced the fact and stop being stupid. It’ll be nice to not hear more dumbshit about Trump still winning.

'cause there ain't any. Trump lost fair and square. If his erratic behavior before the election was not enough to convince the strongest doubters, his behavior since should. Few leaders who I can think of in modern times have been worse. WD's still on that same shit. If he was really interested in moving on, he'd move on. He just wants to be a troll. Bloodbath, my ass! Just more of his paranoid bullshit. We'll be fine. This nation, collectively is much stronger than any of us are, individually.

This not one election, this is 50 elections. If Michigan or Pennsylvania found compelling reasons to vacate the assumed outcome to protect the rights of their citizens how can Biden prevail when he does not 270 votes?

On January 20, 2021 Joe Biden will take the Oath Of Office and become the 46th POTUS.
