Does it matter? That's a legal issue. And if the legal issue isn't resolved by Jan 20, the constitution has a backup plan.
Edit: I haven't read the article, so I apologize if that's ruled out as one of their possible worries by their own words.
And what about when Trump's opponent and the opponent's party use Facebook and other platforms (and almost the entirety of the press) to dispute the vote? Like what actually happened after the 2016 election? The massive, well-funded campaign fronted by Lawrence Lessig and covertly funded by the Clinton campaign[1]?
[1] Yes, Clinton ended up losing more electoral votes to defectors than Trump. But that doesn't change the fact that the campaign existed and received much publicity, while no media pundit or elected solon ever demanded that Clinton ever speak out against the brazen attempt to subvert the outcome of the election.
I am now convinced democratic party is actually trying to get trump re-elected.
Worrying about trump's shenanigans in case he looses at this stage sounds pointless.
Strap in for another 4 years, while us rest of the world get more popcorn.
