i assume it's a decision made along something like 'there's 50k left to count, biden is 30k ahead; so trump would need to win 40k of the 50k and he's only been winning 20k of the 50k so it's a statistical dead cert, can i go home now i've been up 4 days solid, i'm pissing pure caffeine and will be dreaming about numbers for the next three months'
 
The 'he's officially won' message is completely unofficial, yeah? As in some political statistics wonk in AP made the call and that seems to be what counts as official now?
The states have up to 35 days to certify the election result.

They're still counting in places like California but no one has cared at all
 
i think trump taught us a lot of things about ourselves - and just because we didn't like the things he taught us, it doesn't mean they're his fault - so on that score, i think we need to credit him and give him a pass.

Yes, what the result is based off is each states tallies.

The states certify it, then the delegates for the electoral college meet and vote on the president on 14th December (the Monday after the second Wednesday in December) so it is only official then.

If court challenge stop a state certifying the result, then it could go to the state legislatures to appoint the electoral college delegates
 
He should keep bill Barr. Barr is fond of the notion that whatever the president says, goes, so Biden could turn him into a useful jester.
 
stop the press, we have a winner.

Friend of a friend anecdote, but said friend of friend reads the daily mail app ('for social observation, like') and said the pro Trump commenting and upvoting on articles had fallen off a cliff since election day. Assumption is that the paychecks only were being issued up to that point.
