If we lose, Republicans have given us a roadmap for "exploring all legal options" to challenge the results of the election. Here are some of the things that will be 100% acceptable
1. If either Republican is behind in the vote count at any point, demand that votes stop being counted. Go to ballot counting locations if needed and just scream and scream
2. If either Republican is ahead during the vote count, demand votes keep being counted even though that is exactly what poll workers will be doing. But again, make sure you scream about it like you're being persecuted.
3. If either Dem loses, immediately start filing lawsuits. Just keep filing them with whoever is forced to listen
4. If either Dem loses, California needs to sue Georgia claiming their laws violate the constitution and that the state Democratic Party should be able to decide the "real" winner
5. Block any Republican that might "win" tomorrow from taking their seat in the Senate while the Democratic candidates make secret calls to state officials asking them to change the vote counts in their favor. Meanwhile try to throw out hundreds of thousands of votes from the most red counties in the state
6. If all else fails, President Biden can declare martial law, seize the voting machines, and have the military conduct a "revote" until we get the real results.
These are all reasonable steps according to the GOP. There's nothing wrong with the Democrats forcibly trying to change the results of the Senate races tomorrow. It's all part of their "legal right" to do so.

And we won't lose by much tomorrow, if we do lose. That's a big change, at least in Georgia. To have a chance to take the Senate at this point in a previously rube red state, is another big deal.
We're certainly not going to waste time with a bunch of futile shit.
