The media does not decide who wins the presidency. Their projections have no standing, it is up to the states to certify their vote counts. That begins tomorrow (10 Nov) and each state has their own laws and timelines on how this process occurs in addition to recounts which are taking place in some battleground states. That's how the winner is legally determined. Joe Biden is not the President-Elect yet the media is just saying he is.
Given the highly polarized divide across the US I have no doubt there has been attempted fraud by voters at some level. Whether it's by trying to vote multiple times, registering a deceased person, forgery, or even the possibility of the supposed software glitches that happened: this is the bedrock of democracy. These votes, regardless of who they are for, need to be found and eliminated. If found processes and laws need to be updated to ensure the legitimacy of continued elections. Over 150 million Americans voted and if just 1/10th of a percent of those votes are illegitimate that's 150,000 votes! Given how close the races are in some states where the separation is only 12k in Georgia, 15k in Arizona, 45k in Pennsylvania etc this is a really big deal. I certainly wouldn't call it funny. What's scary about the clip you've posted is the arrogance and entitlement of some nobody news anchor dismissing this and proclaiming "We've called it" like her network gets to decide the winner. It is equally ignorant stupidity as Trump declaring "Stop the count!".
