When you start having attempts to block, negate, overturn the people's vote, when there's no actual evidence that there was anything illegal or fraudulent taking place. These are just bald assertions. They have been repeatedly rejected by the courts. I'm less surprised by Donald Trump doing this. I'm more troubled that you're seeing a lot of Republican officials go along with it.
Obama criticizes attempts to undermine the electoral process and the complicity of Republican officials.

People need to “rediscover what’s the story we tell about how we’re going to live together, and see each other, and recognise each other, and disagree, and yet, still care for each other”.
It is a decision about how do we face and embrace this finite amount of time we have on the planet.
When we choose, when we make that decision, I do believe – and there is evidence for this – that the world gets incrementally better, and that is a worthy goal and it’s worth fighting for.
