It is up to Democrats to push back hard on this, we can't count on the MSM to help. Republican election officials who refuse to certify a fair election need to be made to prove why, not just a general explanation, a specific one. What is the recourse? Take them to court? Sue them for libel? Do something because Trump wants to delay everything and when time expires he wants it to go to the Supreme Court.
