It is significant that, not only did the American electorate overwhelmingly reject election deniers. None of Trump's hand-picked lickspittles who were defeated whined that the elections (let alone an airy-fairy "Landslide!") had been stolen by dastards unknown. They conducted themselves as patriots.
All respected America's noble tradition that had distinguished governance of, by, and for the People: peaceful transfers of power (1789-2021)
Tudor Dixon Republican nominee for governor of Michigan: "I called Governor Whitmer this morning to concede and wish her well."
Mehmet Oz Republican nominee for Senate from Pennsylvania "This morning, I called John Fetterman and congratulated him. I wish him and his family all the best, both personally and as our next United States Senator."
Paul LePage Republican nominee for governor of Maine: "I accept the results of yesterday's election."
Bob Stefanowski Republican nominee for governor of Connecticut: "Connecticut gets it right, we had a good election, a fair election and now we have to come together to get it done."

Stacey Abrams Democratic nominee for governor of Georgia: "It is good to be here in this moment, surrounded by your love and support. And let me begin by offering congratulations to Gov. Brian Kemp."
Sean Patrick Maloney Incumbent Democratic nominee for New York's 18th Congressional District: "I don't like to lose, but my opponent won this race. He won it fair and square, and that means something. So I'm going to step aside, and I had a good run."
Tim Ryan Democratic nominee for Senate from Ohio: "I had the privilege to concede
this race to J.D. Vance. Because the way this country operates is that you lose an election, you concede. You respect the will of the people. We can't have a system where if you win, it's a legitimate election, and if you lose, someone stole it. That is not how we can move forward in the United States."
