How to know if our election was stolen

Have any of the following questioned the validity of the election:
The DNC, the Biden Administration, the Harris campaign, the US Dept of Justice, any State Democratic Party, any Democratic member of Congress, MSNBC or any other MSM outlet?
But if you want to join in and endorse random DU posts attesting to a “gut feeling” that the election was somehow stolen, well, it’s a (partially) free country so have at it.

Many are in the denial stage, which can lead to be a bit of irrationality. An easy answer in that state of mind to "this can't have happened" is "it must have been stolen".

I understand what you're saying and largely agree with it, but this election is going to take a while to absorb.

Until all the votes are counted and they have all the facts? It'd be silly to claim any such thing when all votes haven't been counted yet.

Too early to make any accurate statement about the count until we have and understand all the facts about the input.

IMO, to call an election in 4 hours was patently ridiculous in today's climate.

We need to keep an open mind and not shove any avenue of inquiry off the table.

Senator Bob Casey for one is not conceding yet. Nor should he. Not saying it is because of shenanigans, just that the count may be off for many reasons.

Regardless, too many voters were purged this year by RW efforts before the fact. And that is a fact that needs to be taken into consideration and examined.
