@jonatanmagaji what is your justification for claiming that Trump contested the election? I don’t believe he called for any recounts

Trump did not contest the results of the election

@SirSalty Can we get a mod N/A of this question? I don’t think anyone was reading the original phrasing of this question as being about the primaries.

@JimHays I agree mostly but my first thought was “Well it already happened once in 2000” — if a stricter definition of “contest” is to apply then 2000 clearly wouldn’t count.

@jonatanmagaji Can you please clarify this question?

@jonatanmagaji Is this about Trump contesting the results of the election, then winning, or about trump being a contestant in the election then winning?

Perhaps we should establish what interpretation will be used if the creator never returns. To me, the straightforward reading of the question is the first interpretation, but it seems like other people must be betting on the second.

I’ll note here that the close date seems to support my interpretation slightly. If this were merely about running and winning, there’s less motivation to set the close date so much later than the election
