Still not following. What could (eg) Esper do in next two months? Why wasn't he fired earlier? Fearful of 'lame duck' / 'nothing to lose' actions by non-loyal subjects?

It is sort of critical to have the current Sec of Defense and many other department Secretaries to cooperate in the effective transfer of power, not just for the Pres but for his appointees to those positions. Trump is just trying to **** up the process as much as possible. Or, to coin a phrase...tossing his toys out of the pram.

66,000 votes remain to be counted. Of these 66k votes, just over
42,000 needed by Trump to win;
only just over
24,000 needed by Biden to hold on.

Associated Press have now called AZ for Biden.
New York Times is now the LAST mainstream organization that I'm aware of who have NOT called AZ yet!

Note - my number of 66,000 votes remaining is based on the fact that we are told 98% of votes are counted, and thus 2% remain. These are probably shady figures ('2%' could be 1.6%, 2.0%, 2.4% ...)

Another 4,779 votes counted today - incredibly small increase. Still showing '98%' complete. Margin for Biden has dropped to 15k (from 17k). In this last batch, 33% went to Biden, 67% to Trump. That's just about what Trump needs to maintain in order to flip AZ.

Not all sites have called AZ for Biden, and even without it Biden is still on 279.

The Trump no conceding virus spreads across America
Culp in the Washington governor race isnt conceding either, he is 15% behind.
Errol Webber in California for District 37 is 86% to 13% down, and he is going to check up on the voting.
Its just a sow chaos and see what happens strategy.

It's the GOP way now, if you can win fair and square, claim fraud and try to force your way in.

One minute republicans are stop the count, then its every vote must be counted, ffs make your minds up. :rofl:

As for that Errol Webber, he must be an idiot, only rational answer to why he thinks he has any possibility of winning.

Looking at Webber's twitter and his followers, I am losing faith in Americans. So many really do think the entire election was rigged except in states where they won. of course.

Truth is, the only people Repubs will find willing to get buried in an election in a district that is overwhelmingly blue...are egotistical nut cases.

Well, there goes Barr. Not a surprise. This is a nasty and desperate crowd of people.

From The Guardian feed:

"The US attorney general has told prosecutors across the country to pursue “clear and apparently-credible allegations of irregularities” in the voting system, despite a lack of evidence that such fraud is occurring.In a memo obtained by the Associated Press, Barr – who has not shied away from breaking norms in his efforts to prop up Donald Trump – told attorneys that investigations “may be conducted if there are clear and apparently-credible allegations of irregularities that, if true, could potentially impact the outcome of a federal election in an individual State,” the AP reports.

States have another month to resolve election disputes before members of the Electoral College finalize the outcome on 14 December.

Barr’s move “gives prosecutors the ability to go around longstanding Justice Department policy that normally would prohibit such overt actions before the election is formally certified,” according to AP."

To be honest, Barr is as bigger arsewipe than Trump. One hopes a way will be found to disbar that pile of shit for the legal norms he has broken. He should never be allowed to practice law in any way again.
