Yes, elections are technically unfinished until the Electoral College casts its votes in December and Congress certifies it in January — but it’s a misrepresentation of election law to suggest those steps are an opportunity to defy the will of the voters. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/2020-election-over/?collection-id=285005?utm_source=thread&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=edf
And while it’s true to claim some states had not certified results of the popular vote, it’s erroneous to claim that a winner of the election had not been named or the Trump campaign ha san opportunity to overturn the outcome. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/could-trump-defy-popular-vote/?collection-id=285005?utm_source=thread&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=edf

In these emails, supporters were asked to chip in to an “Official Election Defense Fund” or “Election Defense Task Force,” costly initiatives involving ballot recounts or lawsuits to challenge Biden’s win.
But the average donor is not covering that. https://twitter.com/brendan_fischer/status/1326335316077240320
