    It really leads to the question of does winning an election make you the president or is having the power transferred to you all it takes?

    I should ask Gerald Ford.

      Winning a majority of the electorial votes is what’s required to be elected president. There is no federal requirement that the electors of the electorial college vote in accordance with the popular vote of the state they represent. If enough fraud is proven that Harris should have one won it doesn’t change the outcome of the electorial vote. According to the laws as they currently are Trump would still be president.
