"I don't see them accepting the results"

Protests after the Nov. 3 election have been limited in scope; the demonstrations in Maricopa have been some of the most protracted. It remains unclear, as the race gets closer to its conclusion, whether the President or his supporters will accept the results if Biden is declared the winner. “No news outlet should stand by a called race in Arizona,” said Tim Murtaugh, director of communications for the Trump campaign, on Twitter. “This thing isn’t over.”

“The hard core supporters here don’t seem like they’re going anywhere,” says Nasseri. “They’re distrustful of the legitimacy of the process, and I don’t see them accepting the results.”
