Also, new laws in Republican states like AZ and GA could create chaos if a close and murky result is shifted to the state legislature for final decision.
Absent that, no, I don't seem much in the way of election denying. If the Electoral college shows Trump a clear winner, Biden will concede.
There'll be no 1/6 style insurrection during certification. Biden won't do that, his people would not go along, and even if they did there is no Dem
cult to march on the Capitol believing they were following their Dear Leader's orders. The party's and their leaders are VERY different.
As far as "manage to keep going"--it's quite possible we are are still a democracy in ten years, but if Trump wins there will be democratic and
constitutional crisis. Worse still, the media machine which exempts him from accountability will work overtime blaming the chaos on Dems and the
deep state. Not sure the country will recover from that. It would take a revamp of our public education system to create a new generation of voters
with a clear idea of what democracy is, and why it collapses when it does.
I would expect that Security around the Capital will be elevated to a level that would make another 1/6 style event much less likely to occur.
So if Trump were to win, do you see Biden and his wife meeting Trump and his wife at the White House with a typical Inauguration
Ceremony where Biden & Kamala are present giving the picture of a seamless transition of Power ?
After all, Biden & many Democrats have called Trump & the MAGA movement many negative things including being a "grave threat to Democracy"
setting up a potential justification not to seamlessly transition to them. (if they are really as bad as they say)
