It isn't a legal status and doesn't actually decide anything. It is optics.

Exactly. It's optics. It legitimizes Biden's Presidency for a transition to formally begin.

Legal reality matters. I'm not saying I like this development, but it's VERY far from a "game over" development.

And the legality is all pretty suspicious to me. I don't have much faith in our legal system, or our elections, or our local and federal governments anymore. Democrats can lie, cheat, and steal with impunity it seems.

We were beating Biden on optics, forcing him to crowd-fund his own transition. I was starting to forget he even existed, but with this development all of that is erased.

It's not a game over development, you're right, but it's pretty upsetting. Let's hope Trump can pull through.
