Why? I know why. Two reasons:

1) The establishment, including those in charge of those decisions, hates the man.

2) So do half the people, and that half would have burned the nation down if original call was reversed.

Alrighty then. So...we're just gonna call that The New Democracy??

And we'll have a nice segment of the populace to blame when things (predictably) go to shit. I suggest, as a model, Zimbabwe. When the economy cratered because Mugabe, his family and his thugs, err...I mean, his "Comrades of the Revolution", were stealing every thing, they found plenty of "enemies". Same happened in Rwanda, except there, the ethnic/tribal component lead to attempted genocide (TWICE!)

Oh, but it can't happen here because the Dems said they wouldn't cheat to attain permanent power.

It's like nobody here has ever heard of Chicago politics.

Hopefully not but who knows.

I think if Trump's team was able to prove fraud and had the decision reversed shit really would have hit the fan. We're talking military, and not just National Guard. People being shot. It's why Trump was wrong to contest. Regardless of outcome, there was no win for him.
