Seems like a president shouldn’t be allowed to reverse the outcome of an election he lost.
All states certified their elections by December 14, 2020. Trump had until that date to prove in a courtroom that he won a state that was called for Biden.What if he lost it due to fraud? He should be allowed to contest it try and have it reversed?
A rational human being will recognize that democracy cannot function if a loser is the one who gets to declare fraud and everything just stops to appease the loser.
So five or six weeks may not be much time for a fucking sore assed loser like Trump to prove the fraud he suspects cost him the election; but the Constitution says certify by December 14 (2020 election) and then count the certified results on January 6.
Of course there has been weeping and gnashing of teeth in Trump’s Biblical Fantasy Land over no court granting Loser Orange Messiah (LOM) a court ruling to stop seven states from certifying their challenged but verified results.
On December 14 the election was over and there became no avenue of redress for Trump to avoid conceding he had lost.
Your line of argument Rawley was dead before you brought it up;
Electoral College electors are scheduled to meet in states across the country on the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December (Dec. 14 this year) to cast their votes.
And if a state has finalized its results six days before then, according to the ECA, then those results qualify for "safe harbor" status — meaning Congress must treat them as the "conclusive" results, even if, for example, a state's legislature sends in a competing set of results.
The âGapâ in the Constitution That Led to January 6th
Trump and his allies exploited key vulnerabilities in the electoral process. Is the biggest one Congress itself?

Every state except Wisconsin appears to have met the deadline, according to The Associated Press. Wisconsin's 10 electoral votes are still expected to be cast for Biden on Monday; he won the state by just over 20,000 votes.

"If a state can conclude its process of appointing electors by that [safe harbor deadline] then Congress is bound by federal law to accept the slate of electors that is arrived upon by that date," said Rebecca Green, the co-director of the Election Law program at William and Mary.

Absurdity under review:
the statute was ambiguous enough to allow for the Presidents' interpretation.
