> The election was highly unusual in that it was conducted with a much higher fraction of postal voting (obviously a less secure method

If it was less secure enough to be relevant, we would have heard of cases (or thousands) where voters show up only to have their vote already registered. We haven't. It's still one registered voter - one vote.

> and accompanied by rule changes)

This was the case in many more states, including Texas itself and other disgruntled states. What rule changes do you take issue with and why?

> and highly sketchy in the way that vote counting took so long to complete

That's because states election officials have decided when you can start counting votes. In some states when they come in, in others not before election day. Not allowing early counting has generally been a GOP decision, if that's relevant.

> and even paused unexpectedly in the key swing states at a point where it looked like the outcome would be different.

That's because each county in the country counts independently, and have wildly uneven demographics (thanks gerrymandering...)

> These things alone ensure that outcome would be hotly disputed.

Only for people not bothered with facts.
