Internet is saturated with crap. It takes time to build a list of reliable (as you can find) sources. I short cut them all and sift through them when time allows. Can't find anything better than Duckduckgo, tor browser, a VPN, as I say takes time.
Thank you for sharing, my sincere condolences. My elderly mum in sound mind but in poor health told me just one thing regarding all this political stress we inevitably encounter "you just have to learn how to shrug son, learn how to shrug".
In Australia they coughed up for Biden almost immediately stating that they'd honour bets for Trump should the result change. After so called "certification" all bets are reportedly off re Trump. I believe. Sportsnet.
My sons and I lost $$$ too, but haven't a clue about any form of redress. To be honest atm trying not to think about it too heavily - I think you of all people would know why.
