So by your own reasoning Biden's got the Electoral College votes to win... unless there's a court case somewhere that will actually change the results of who is chosen for the Electoral College depending on how the court case is decided.
I am not aware of any such case - everything that I am aware of will not make a difference in who wins each state. If you're aware of a case that will make a difference, please let us know what it is.
Until such a case is brought to my attention, I see no reason to stop saying that Biden won.
Your call, Rob. Legally, Trump is still the legitimate President until the electors say otherwise. I'm doubtful Trump can pull a large enough rabbit out of the hat to have a second term, but until I know for sure if he pulls it off by some heretofore unknown means, I prefer prudence over premature victory dancing. Once Biden is confirmed US President for real, I shall refer to him by the title of said office.
