Time for more alternate reality from the WV GOP
Apparently, Biden’s lead of 150,000 votes in Michigan meets the definition of “slim”
From the West Virginia GOP earlier today:
The margins are slim and there are a number of irregularities. As of 11/18, the Trump Legal Team has a combined 480 sworn declarations in- PA, GA, MI, NV, WI. Additionally, there have been over 13,300 reports filed in five states - PA, GA, MI, NV, WI - since Election Day.

Just in from NBC News: "GOP senators inch toward acceptance of Trump defeat”
Not all of them, however
From the NBC article:
President Donald Trump's refusal to concede electoral defeat has Republican Senate allies slowly inching toward acceptance that Joe Biden will be the next president.
These lawmakers are vacillating between loyalty to a president with the power to turn GOP voters against them and their duty . . .
