I'd like to give an insight to all that is happening from another point of view. I think the Democrats are already preparing an argument that the president stole the election again. They intend to stymie his time as best they can, by using this tactic the rest of his presidency.
It's a win win scenario, they either win the election because someone flinched, or they can gain power by claiming it was stolen. Every article and movement seems to have this same set up. Even declaring Biden the winner early only works if they are setting up that argument.
A friend pointed it out, and I thought I would share.
I've been interacting with lefties all day. They're celebrating like they've won the Superbowl. If scotus does the right thing and blows this bogus election up, it's civil war. These people are not going to accept this win turning into a loss.
I work in Seattle and Portland, there are rioters celebrating their win as you described. It will be interesting to see how to respond tonight.
