What a lot of people are looking for here is the thing that finally makes Republicans stop claiming Trump won, or that finally provides an authoritative and *uncontested* account of the election. As Josh notes, that can't happen because some people won't hear of it.

What you can get, and will get, is Joe Biden's inauguration. That's what I'm looking for and that's why I feel at peace. If you're waiting for Donald Trump to admit he's a loser who sucks, or for his party to treat him like one, you're just going to make yourself mad.
The most valid worry people have here is that this is setting precedents that will undermine future elections. I worry about that some, but not as much as other people -- I think mostly our institutions have shown they work well. But that risk would be *exacerbated* if...
... Democrats started pulling stunts like the one Pascrell proposes. If you're worried about precedents that could justify throwing out election results, he'd be creating another one, not fighting back against them.
