The electors have spoken, and Republicans must accept that Joe Biden won

After major news organizations had declared Joe Biden the winner of the 2020 presidential election last month, Republicans standing by President Trump had a ready retort to explain their refusal to accept the result: The media does not elect the president. Instead, they argued that the legal process must be allowed to play itself out and that ultimately, it is the Electoral College that decides the president.

Well, more than a month later, the Supreme Court has spoken, and the Electoral College has voted for Biden. There are no remaining excuses to avoid accepting that Biden is the president-elect.
