    No reason to change anything, the point is that the election hasn't occurred so the transition is not required to begin yet.

    false!!!

    In 2016:

    • In Colorado, Kasich received one vote for president, which was invalidated, and the elector was replaced by one who cast a vote for Clinton.[42]
    • In Maine, a Democratic Party elector voted for Bernie Sanders but was forced to cast a vote for Clinton.
    • In Minnesota, another Democratic Party elector tried to do the same but was replaced by one who cast a vote for Clinton. The same Minnesota elector voted for Tulsi Gabbard for vice president but had that vote invalidated and given to Tim Kaine.

    most states now require Electors to follow the Popular Vote of their state.

    if the Elector goes rogue, they can be fired and their vote reversed.

    its happened before. it will happen again.

    Good grief!! Where is it written that the transition has to wait for the electors to vote?? I already documented the fact that is now true. What exactly are you trying to do here?

    Obama started transition the day after Trump won.

    Trump won with 306 Electoral Votes, just like Biden.

    Mike Pompeo is busy working on the transition two the second Trump term. Eventually someone is going to tap him on the shoulder and say ahem you don't work here anymore. My deep state asset in the state department will be overjoyed. She says she couldn't take another four years working with the numbskulls in the Trump administration.

    This makes sense!

    This what the Trump wants, Trumpies are hoping for, and what the people like the ultra armed Proud Boys and other violent anti-American Right use to try to perform a coup on the American People!

    The results will be certified and on January 20, 2021 Joe Biden will be sworn in as 46th president of the U.S. However resolved Trump is to thwart a smooth transition much of the process lies entirely outside his control. Trump lost the election, he's over with.

    Obama conceded which ended the election process, Trump has not so the process continues. Biden is not the President or the President Elect at this point. Trump is still President and both are waiting for the Electoral College to vote and decide who will be the next POTUS.

    You seem to be under the illusion that the liberal media certifies elections.

    Nobody says it has to wait but it certainly can and especially when fraud in the election is suspected

    Well golly, the Biden team is so well known for its knowledge and truth-telling! Politicians are known to tell the truth and nothing more.

    No I am not. The media, including Fox REPORTS the vote totals which are the basis for later certification

    Fraud was alleged by a delusional and lying president and it has shot down by every court, by election officials from both parties and by many elected Republicans. Trumps juvenile antics are endangering national security, and public health as well as the future of democracy

    Then why hasn't the election been certified? Fact is there's unanswered questions about the legitimacy of this election with its multitude of abnormalities.

    LOL I've given links to government sites defining what is meant by "election" in law! Notice the use of the words "six months" in both of the links?

    Based upon his attention to PDBs and so many other national security issues, clearly Trump doesn't see the need for others to get access to what he doesn't deem important.
