As long as Trump doesn’t concede, the election is contested. As long as the election is contest Mike Pence, (the president of the senate) doesnt have to accept electoral votes from those states where there is controversy.
If Mike Pence doesnt accept those electoral votes then debate is taken up in the house and senate whether to accept or reject those votes. If the votes are rejected and neither candidate wins 270 then the vote goes to the house, which Trump would win.
Don't like those odds and the country's fate shouldn't be left so precarious.
Pence is swamp imo--note that he has NEVER uttered the words "vote fraud" or "stolen election" once or made any statements supporting Trump--except to say every "legal vote" must be counted. Trouble is the fake votes and/or the counting process is 'legal' and the direct evidence has been destroyed. Plenty of circumstantial evidence but the Courts refuse to hear it.
I think when it comes to the crunch Pence will shaft Trump just like SCOTUS, Barr and Krebs. He isn't strong enough to go out on his own.
Ignorance .
Conceding or not make all the difference.

So conceding, or not, isn’t just a formality.
very smart idea. I wonder why HIllary did not use this strategy, or any losing part.
She coached Biden publicly how to not concede if the cheat failed like in 2016.
but then the cheat worked in 2020
So trump be like - hell no, never - envokes Hillary rules.
Because she had cheated in the 2016 election, and still lost. If she had pursued this strategy the fraud would have been exposed.
Hillary wasn't the sitting president
Probably 60-40 whether Pence would accept.
