Biden is President Elect

[hislegacy]

It pointed to the uncertainty around Bush's election as a distraction from the transition process that contributed to the 9/11 attack. Trump's unjustified attempt to delay the transition is doing precisely what the voting difficulties in Florida did then.

That is just too far fetched for the normal person to even begin to grasp.

BTW it was Gore, not Bush that effected the 'transition process'. Gore was the one who demanded recounts and brought it to the courts.

Mr. Biden is NOT President Elect

Are you sure about that? He's been President-elect since last Saturday, no matter what frivolous lawsuit Trump can come up with.

You really should start to accept that fact now.

It was also Gore who said that regardless of the actual winner, further controversy would harm America, and so he withdrew. It was a forthright and patriotic move on Gore's part. Don't hold your breath hoping Trump will be that kind of person.

Well, let's take a look...

He withdrew after how many recounts?

Not quite one. Bush sued to override the Florida Supreme Court, which had called for a statewide recount.

He withdrew after loosing how many court cases.

Actually, he wasn't involved in that suit. It was Bush suing the state of Florida. A statewide recount would likely have given the election to Gore. Gore disagreed with the Supreme Court Decision, but withdrew and conceded the election.

On December 8, the Florida Supreme Court had ordered a statewide recount of all undervotes, over 61,000 ballots that the vote tabulation machines had missed. The Bush campaign immediately asked the U.S. Supreme Court to stay the decision and halt the recount. Justice Antonin Scalia, convinced that all the manual recounts being performed in Florida's counties were illegitimate, urged his colleagues to grant the stay immediately.[1] On December 9, the five conservative justices on the Court granted the stay for Bush, with Scalia citing "irreparable harm" that could befall Bush, as the recounts would cast "a needless and unjustified cloud" over Bush's legitimacy. In dissent, Justice John Paul Stevens wrote that "counting every legally cast vote cannot constitute irreparable harm."[1] Oral arguments were scheduled for December 11.

Joe Biden becomes president-elect: Election live updates

He won the election fair and square. The behavior of Evangelicals in America is a disgrace to the church. Start putting truth before fear and say it out loud. Trump lost and needs to admit it. The Emperor has no clothes.

Vice President Al Gore reluctantly concedes defeat to Texas Governor George W. Bush in his bid for the presidency, following weeks of legal battles over the recounting of votes in Florida, on December 13 2000.

In a televised speech from his ceremonial office next to the White House, Gore said that while he was deeply disappointed and sharply disagreed with the Supreme Court verdict that ended his campaign, ”partisan rancor must now be put aside.”

“I accept the finality of the outcome, which will be ratified next Monday in the Electoral College” he said. “And tonight, for the sake of our unity as a people and the strength of our democracy, I offer my concession.”
​

Bush wasn't suing for a recount for a state he WON - Gore was.
Bush did not present legal battle for a state he WON - Gore did.
Bush didn't keep law suits being elevated all the way to the Supreme Court - Gore did.

Applauding Gore conceding his losses after exhausting every possible avenue of winning is like saying Nixon was being magnanimous when he resigned. LOL forthright and patriotic, my aunt Ester!

Bush wasn't suing for a recount for a state he WON

The vote was extremely close and it's understandable that Bush didn't want a recount that very well might have lost him the election. The state Supreme Court ruled that a recount be done, and Bush sued to stop them. The suit went to the Supreme Court, after which the five conservative jurists decided for Bush. Bush was the one who appealed the State Supreme Court decision to avoid a recount.

Bush didn't keep law suits being elevated all the way to the Supreme Court

Yes, he did. He wasn't happy with the Florida recount, and so appealed to the Supreme Court to stop it.

Applauding Gore conceding his losses after exhausting every possible avenue of winning

Is a misrepresentation of the facts. As you realize, Gore chose to avoid further controversy and conceded, even though he had other avenues of appeal to the SCOTUS. Do you think Trump will do that? Not a chance, um?

incorrect, once the Supreme Court rules, there are no “avenues of appeal”. That’s a ridiculous assumption His own words show he ran out of options:

“I accept the finality of the outcome, which will be ratified next Monday in the Electoral College” he said

Did you read that?

“I accept the finality of the outcome”​

That's incorrect. One option would be a motion to reconsider. Trump has used that more than once.
The U.S. District Court in Seattle today rejected a government motion to reconsider a nationwide Preliminary Injunction the Court issued on Dec. 24, 2017, against a Trump administration policy that indefinitely barred certain refugees from entering the U.S.
...
In denying the motion to reconsider, the Court recognized that the Trump administration policy has caused immediate and irreparable harm to the work of refugee resettlement agencies, such as the Episcopal Diocese’s refugee resettlement program, which fulfills the Diocese’s religious mission of welcoming and assisting strangers.
Federal Court Rejects Government Request to Reconsider Injunction Against Trump Policy Banning Admission of Refugees to U.S.

Gore just decided to forgo a recount (notice Trump has been demanding recounts all over the map) in the best interest of the country.

Trump of course, doesn't care, so long as he thinks he might be able to steal the election.

“I accept the finality of the outcome”

Words you will never hear Trump utter.
