It is also true that there are court challenges. However, we have accepted the title of ‘president elect’ for many called elections won by a similar percentage in the past.

We did not consider our fellow citizens to be traitors.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>DAVID BECKER: They are very concerned. I talked to some of them yesterday. There are- these are people who have been away from their families for days. They haven't seen the much. One of them, his son, just had a birthday and he had to miss that birthday, essentially because he was working the polls. They are getting no sleep. They're getting death threats. Some of them include racist and anti-Semitic language. And then we hear about this threat on their lives. It's shameful. I mean, these are public servants who are doing you know, they're not always well-paid. They're not really well paid at all. They don't get a lot of recognition. Usually when we only know their names, when something goes wrong, they're really heroes of democracy right now.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b>From:</b> OE <oe-bounces@lists.wedgeblade.net> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Susan Fertig via OE<br><b>Sent:</b> Sunday, November 8, 2020 10:44 AM<br><b>To:</b> Cynthia Vance <facilitationfla@aol.com>; Order Ecumenical Community <oe@lists.wedgeblade.net><br><b>Cc:</b> Susan Fertig <sfertig@blueskytech.us><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Oe List ...] Hooray!<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The world is not a monolith. 50% of the people did not vote for Joe Biden.
