Professor Stephen Farnsworth of the University of Mary Washington in Virginia said: “Above all, President Trump does not like to lose. Trump and his legal team have used every reasonable legal means — and more than a few unreasonable ones — to try to use the courts to prevent the inevitable. By arguing that the election was stolen, Trump avoids having to admit defeat. This argument also increases the chances that President-elect Biden will not be accepted as a legitimate by a significant share of Republican voters and Republican elected officials. That increases the hurdles Biden will face as president, which is also part of Trump’s strategy for staying active in the US political conversation after January 20. “
