I'm not tweeting bc I want everyone to be pessimistic, but bc I want everyone to be able to manage mental health:
As a narrow Biden victory is potentially likely, please note that it's also likely that Trump will take at least 3 states to SCOTUS (currently 6-3 in his favor).

Look for states with narrow results who put in new early voting protocols/laws this year. And know that electors don't cast votes until December, so even if it's "smooth" the media cycle might be hard to deal with.
Buckle up, and please start making plans for your own mental health care and hygiene. Stress can manifest in unexpected ways.
(I'm HOPING it all shakes out much smoother than this, I just know that for myself it's best to make plans for dealing with the worst outcomes — a narrow Biden victory/hostile Legislature, that plus a protracted election, or a Trump victory — rather than avoid the possibilities!)
(I'm hoping all his challenges are found baseless and fizzle out in state courts but, yeno, prepare for the worst and that)
Ah just like that I found a good articulation of what's likely and what's the messiest route. A lot of variables. But better to be aware of the possibilities than be surprised I think. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetillman/presidential-election-supreme-court-challenge-trump
My wording in my initial tweet was wrong, sorry: it's likely he will TRY to do so.
I'm mostly interested here in the very stressful and protracted weeks we might have ahead of us as we wait for it all to shake out and I am making my own plans for mental health hygiene!
