Nope. Arbitrary dates from 100 years ago when it took a week to get electors from across the country to DC. Not in the Constitution. Forget it, AP.

Before midnight last night, Texas has sued GA, MI, PA, and WI.
Those states do not have a safe harbor today

Trump has been valiantly fighting for America. It remains to be seen if he will surrender and step aside and abandon the nation to the most venomous enemies the nation has ever faced. In my estimation, the ones stealing the election and hijacking the nation are similar to the Bolsheviks who usurped the Russian government and are a more deadly enemy than the terrorists in the middle east that he bombed into oblivion. Why would he fight the one and surrender to the other?

This claim about the truth is disputed

WIKI——Safe harbor (law)

A safe harbor is a provision of a statute or a regulation that specifies that certain conduct will be deemed not to violate a given rule. It is usually found in connection with a more-vague, overall standard. By contrast, “unsafe harbors” describe conduct that will be deemed to violate the rule.

Theoretical justifications
Safe harbors have been promoted by legal writers as reducing the uncertainty created by simply employing a vague standard (such as “recklessness”).[1] On the other hand, this type of rule formulation also avoids the problem of creating a precise rule that leaves a judge with no available discretion to allow for “hard cases.”[2]:14–21

In theory, the safe harbor formulation can combine the virtues of vague standards and precise rules, allowing legislatures to prescribe with certainty the advance outcome for specific foreseeable cases, and to leave to judges to decide the cases that remain.[2]:16–18

He should never concede, and insist the election was stolen until his dying day; I will. He openly stated they were stealing our country from us LONG BEFORE THIS ELECTION.

If AP-Pravda says something, believe the opposite.

“He should never concede”

If you mean that he should not leave office based on this stolen election, I agree. Merely “not conceding” in and of itself is a useless protest.

I don’t think the decision to leave or not will be left up to him.

It was a very contentious election. Rutherford B. Hayes wasn’t inaugurated until March 4, 1877.

Despotism (Encyclopedia Britannica film, circa 1946)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaWSqboZr1w

“A community is low on a ‘Respect’ scale if common courtesy is withheld from large groups of people on account of their political attitudes.”

“...in a downright despotism opposition is dangerous whether the despotism is official or whether it is unofficial...”

“A community rates low on the ‘Information’ scale when the press, radio, and other channels of communication are controlled by only a few people and when citizens have to accept what they are told.”

“See how a community trains its teachers”
“...these students are being taught to accept uncritically whatever they are told. Questions are not encouraged.”

“And if books and newspapers and the radio [and facebook and youtube and...] are officially controlled the people will read and accept exactly what the few in control want them to. Government censorship is one form of control. The newspaper that breaks the government censorship rule can be suspended. It is also possible for newspapers and other lines of communication to be controlled by private interests...”

Democracy (Encyclopedia Britannica film, circa 1946)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bx25aMPvbJo

“The newspapers of a real democracy meet these tests...”

Newspaper checks.
1. Balance of coverage
2. Disclosure of source
3. Competence of staff

It’s called a safe harbor provision....not a safe harbor law.
