Oh you sweet, summer child. After the election ends, we're going to have at least a month of coordinated all-out fighting from the fascists to stop the votes from being certified -- if Georgia's and Arizona's popular vote results get accurately reflected in the final EC tally it'll be a minor miracle -- and years of "stop the steal" election denial and stochastic terrorism after that.

And that's the best-case scenario.

Just like last time I will be holding my breath from November 5 till January 20.

Considering that Biden is currently in power, and the Democratic Candidate is the VP, I don't think there's any danger of a contested transition. Once the votes are counted, the only fuckery the Trumpists could pull would be organized violence, and the military is firmly under Biden's control.

the illegitimate supreme court is very much a danger.

That's true, to a degree. However, If they do something egregious enough, I suspect Biden or Harris will be able to deal with it without expending political capital. What, aside from denying a recount do you think they might do that would have an impact?
