12. What good does it do to verify election results and certify winners

when the losers are going to cry that they were cheated and ask for a recount?

Not a single state was certified and finalized on election day or even the next day - that's been an ongoing process for the past 2+ weeks. They've taken the time carefully canvass the votes, correct tabulation errors, etc., and for what? So they can still be accused of cheating because they were open enough to publicly post those initial, unofficial results. They correct errors on unofficial results, and are accused of fraud.

Americans want instant gratification, but only if it results in the outcome they want; otherwise, Americans want to drag it out as long as they can.
