The CNN complete map. It's clear that President-elect Biden will be inaugurated on January 20th. My hunch is that Donald Trump will also eventually acknowledge that, though perhaps he will wait until the EC vote on Dec 14th to do so.

Some process left.
- Recounts. But no chance of affecting margins.
- Court cases. Contentless to date, still open if had any substance
- Persuade red state legislatures that went blue to choose a different slate. (Not legal post-election. Politically imposs)
- Faithless electors

38 faithless Biden electors choosing to switch is the one constitutional route to Trump retaining the Presidency (as long as does not bribe or induce them to do so), if the Democrat state parties have somehow chosen dozens of delegates who want Trump to remain in office!

Many of these stalwart Democrats would go down as hard to reach on an initial GOP canvass

There were 9 faithless electors across the whole 1948-2012 period, so it's odd that 10 electors chose to make various idiosyncratic gestures in the 2016 process

Time will tell. Baby steps forward

* The idea of flipping many specific Biden electors is obviously an absurd hypothesis.
* We may hear more about State Legislatures replacing EC slates with their own choice. That is not legal, post-election. It is not plausible if it were legal.
