You can imagine Trump simply demanding his team sue everywhere he’s losing and just not taking “but we don’t really have grounds” as an answer.

The closeness of the vote counts demands a recount, at minimum.
There isn't anyone in the entire world that wouldn't demand a double and triple check of the close races.
The difference with Mr. Trump is that an insult must be thrown at him.

The President and his campaign staff had falsely claimed throughout the day that their representatives were not allowed in the room. But their counsel admitted at the hearing, after questions from the court, that they had several representatives in the room.. In fact, they had at least 19 observers...

Trump lies more easily than anybody I can think of. I don't think he sees it as lying, he just says what he wants to be true, and he believes it is true. I suspect he's done it his whole life.
I heard his speech earlier today, and he almost convinced me that he believed it. Clearly, it's a total load of bollocks.

From 538
"The contest for Arizona just got closer, but Biden still leads there. That’s the takeaway from Maricopa County’s approximately 75,000-vote report a moment ago. Trump won 56 percent of that batch to Biden’s 42 percent, which cut Biden’s statewide lead to 1.6 points, or about 46,000 votes. With perhaps another 200,000 votes outstanding from Maricopa — and at least a few from other counties in Arizona — Trump is not out of the race for the state’s 11 electoral votes yet."
Sounds like voter fraud to me!!!! Stop the count!!!!

Now Pennsylvania
If he takes all the outstanding states it’s over 306 electoral votes.
I guessed 330. Damn.

So you missed Florida. Like many professional pollsters. No need to beat yourself up over it.

I forget which entity's calling of the winner makes it official.
From VOANews: "Many people assume the winner of the U.S. presidential contest is determined once the media calls the race and the losing candidate delivers a concession speech. But the truth is that formally declaring a presidential winner is a months-long process that won’t be completed until January.
"That process essentially involves Americans voting for electors, the electors voting for the president, and then Congress declaring the winner.
"There's Election Day, where those electors are elected; there's the date in December where the electors meet and then vote for president; and then there's the date in January where the Congress certifies that election.”
