US election status in four sentences

Scanning the news this morning, I came across this BBC article that opened with four, single-sentence paragraphs that really lay it all out there:

"He won because the Election was Rigged," the Republican president wrote on Twitter, repeating unsubstantiated claims of election fraud.

About an hour later he said he was not conceding the 3 November vote.

He has launched a slew of lawsuits in key states, but has not provided any evidence to back his claims of fraud.

All the lawsuits have so far been unsuccessful.

Meanwhile, all available evidence points to this election being virtually free of fraud. As an example, the Republican Secretary of State in Georgia says that he’s investigating a total of three suspected incidents of fraud … out of five million votes cast!
