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.

“Like it or not,medias full blown propaganda assault has set our feet on the path to civil war.”
Define civil war. It’s not North vs South now. What could it be?
Why would Mike Pence be tasked with unraveling the situation?
and if so,then why wouldn’t he just pick the R slate of electors?
I hope you’re right. I’m more than a little jaded at our justice system though after all the Russia fraud perpetrators walked. Unless this is rectified by a scotus order, nothing will change. Of that I’m certain.
The terms of newly elected representatives begin on January, the 3rd.
Release all the evidence of outside control of the government. Play Skynets option as depicted in the movie. Turn China to rubblebounce the rubble. Anyone on odds of how the blue areas would make out?
Over the top???
Audit
I was only looking for turnout discrepancies from 2016.
That would of course only point to fraud that exceeds 2016 fraud.
What I find stark is how Philadelphia itself actually broke FOR Trump over 2016 with about the same turnout but the suburbs went vastly against Trump with huge turnout increases in 5 counties.
“Civil war” is probably not the right term. Revolution would probably be better.
