There is a process if Trump refuses to accept Bidens victory if it all holds.
With the final vote in dispute, states with Democratic governors but Republican legislatures including the key battleground states of Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Michigan and Wisconsin, the latter two of which have already been called for Biden could conceivably end up dispatching two distinct groups of Electoral College voters, reported Marie Claire, citing a study by election scholar Edward B. Foley.
In that scenario, those states would have two competing sets of electoral votes, and, as president of the Senate, Republican Vice President Mike Pence would be tasked with unraveling the situation.
He could opt to throw out both sets of votes from those states, meaning neither candidate could reach the 270 electoral votes needed to clinch the presidency.
In that event, the members of Congress would vote for president and vice president.
The House of Representatives would vote for president, with each states delegation getting one shared vote, and a simple majority of 26 votes needed to elect.
In the Senate, each senator gets one vote, with a simple majority of 51 votes needed to elect.
Should either of those bodies fail to reach a majority, the plot thickens further.
If the Senate elects a vice president but the House of Representatives fails to elect a president, the vice president-elect serves as president until the impasse is resolved.
If neither body can reach a conclusion by Inauguration Day, then the presidential line of succession kicks in, and the speaker of the House of Representatives currently Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) would serve as president until the knot is untied.

All this Biden won crap by FOX ABC NBC CBS and other demonrat media outlets is getting boring. Concession talk is boring.
When this election fraud is finally unraveled, Trump will be making a victory speech and everyone had better listen. The REAL Americans, Trump and his supporters, will claim their rightful VICTORY.
Third world fraudulence and cheating are NOT ACCEPTABLE!
The founding fathers instilled every possible safeguard. Human nature hasnt changed.
But lets see...
73 days till Inauguration Day.
Its going to take a miracle.
We live in a fallen world. Good ultimately triumphs over evil - but the timing is Gods.
I would prefer not to be in Soviet Union 2.0
But we shall see...
Theyd vote for Biden.
Not really
What happens if Trump refuses to concede? There really is only one solution, an Octagon cage match with lead pipe fight to the death! Then when Joe lays their crumpled, Fox can declare him the winner
This a clear attempt to demoralize the winners.
Use your God-given brains people!
I agree it’s not acceptable to steal this. We all saw the counting stopped...it made zero sense. You know the rest.
Doesn’t matter. Like it or not,media’s full blown propaganda assault has set our feet on the path to civil war.
I know the answer.
It means Trump is President for a second term.
Easy.
Even when the full scale of fraud is uncovered, revealing President Trump won, he will still be pressured to concede. The drumbeat will be, The country has moved on and accepted Joe Biden as their president.
In that event, the members of Congress would vote for president and vice president.
Theyd vote for Biden.

Not necessarily. It’s not individual votes but state contingent votes.
I think Republicans have more states but Dems have more members. California and New York for example are only two states but provide a lot more than 1/25 the members.

Could you even begin to IMAGINE the howling and exploding heads that would erupt out of a civics lesson like that?

I think not. Hard evidence of the manufacture of hundreds of thousands of votes in boiler rooms would get the attention of the nation and world and put MSM/BT on its back feet.
I think the numbers show that is possible in at least 3 counties in GA and 5 in PA. I can’t find obviously out-of-whack numbers in MI or WI counties, but it wouldn’t take much to flip WI. Then you don’t need AZ or NV. But the Dems seem to be holding NC in reserve.
Funniest post I’ve read all week!
Yes a lead pipe cage match to the death would seem to be in order.
That’s why there’s God.
Like the demoncraps refused to concede the election of 2016?
Joe keeps claiming he would punch DJT. Or take him out back behind the woodshed. A pipe match wouldn’t be that far off. One of our Presidents, although he wasn’t at the time, has died in duel already.
