Knowing trump will claim a win before Nov 5 ends, like hitler did, remember...

1. Electoral Count Reform and Presidential Transition Improvement Act of 2022
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_Count_Reform_and_Presidential_Transition_Improvement_Act_of_2022

2. The Twelfth Amendment and all its "shall"s...

3. The 119th Congress will be in session as of Jan 3 2025.

4. President Biden will still be president.

5. Vice President Kamala Harris will still be vice president and President of the Senate on Jan 6 2025.

The predictable court fights won't get beyond state appeals, or state supreme courts again. Why? Because if the right's legal teams could have strengthened their claims since the Gore v Bush decision of 2000, they would have used them by now.
