As I said earlier, expecting Trump to lie down and meekly accept defeat is unrealistic, even if he is wrong. Actually, especially if he's wrong, let me correct that.
The only difference between throwing in the towel immediately and after he exhausts all attempts at challenging things is that in the latter case, if he loses then, everyone can tell him "I told you so". That is, assuming he doesn't snatch victory from the jaws of defeat somehow. Not optimistic of that myself at this point, but it is a possibility one must factor in. Rutherford Hayes got the presidency thanks in part to a last-second SC Hail Mary pass too.
At this point though, I'm refraining from betting odds on that though.
