That's one way to look at it. Objectively speaking, "successor" is a better word.

In literally any other election the same set of circumstances would have led every single person posting this to say Biden is the president elect.

That people are being so pedantic about the rules is just another example of how susceptible people are to right wing propaganda.

reptilian scales intensify

1) Mail in voting (proven less reliable than in person voting by simple experiments)
2) The result wasn't known on the night of the election as it was in 2016

Those are the differences

What "simple experiments"? Please cite your source on this.

The result was pretty easy to see on election night. It really just took some simple math on the Biden proportion of mail-in ballots to see he was going to easily take PA, WI, NV, MI, and MN.

3% of all mail goes missing un explainably.
There is no reason why mail in ballots should take longer than a day to tabulate. Florida did it in four hours.

Florida is also allowed to start processing and counting early ballots 22 days before election day. Most states (including WI, MI, PA, GA, NV) aren't allowed to start counting them until election day.

there SHOULD BE no reason, agreed, but republican lawmakers made sure there were - to make gullible fools like you believe in their transparent attempts to undermine democratic elections.

the whole point of sabotaging the USPS, of establishing ridiculous rules about mail-in ballot counting, and trump's campaign of fearmongering about the reliability and security of the voting method he himself has used for decades, was to delegitimise his expected loss and make his ignorant followers believe in some grand conspiracy. the fact that you people are genuinely too dense to realise that is both hilarious and sad.

The Democrats chose those laws on purpose. I wonder why they would do such a thing.
