Delay yes. But there are hard deadlines all over. State deadlines to certify election results, if the electoral college can’t render a result after the 14th it goes to the house. And Trump’s term ends on the 20th.
States run risks in terms of seating congressmen and other offices if they fuck around.
I don’t think we’ll be twiddling our thumbs waiting on a clear results. Either we’ll kno who won or we’ll know it’s fucked inside of a day or two.
