They refuse to accept it so any evidence proving Biden won is just disregarded as more 'lies'. They don't care about the facts, because their Faith says Trump won.
They will believe any claim that the Democrats cheated, even though despite making dozens (hundreds?) of accusations and lawsuits, the Trumpers have yet to place any proof of their claims in front of a judge. the tiny amount of bad ballots found and reported on so far have been a mix of votes for both sides, and not enough to sway any of the State results.
Fair enough. Besides, when Samuel Tilden's team got implicated in playing fast and dirty with the 1877 results, most of the accusations were about vote canvassing foul play, or deliberately trying to fluff up the numbers of votes of their guy versus Hayes, but while proof did surface people connected to Tilden did try that, they never proved Tilden knew about it nor did they nail down exactly which votes were played with. There were also some proof they tried to intimidate Hayes voters (blacks especially) and they tried to bribe election commissions to fudge results, but nailing down just what votes were bad, just who authorized what (lots of end players had a hand in things, but so many middle men were unidentified), and just how foul the stench of foul play was that had true merit remained a murky question.
History, thus far, has repeated.
