Jesus Georgia is down to 9k or so votes in it. That is one narrowly divided state no matter which way it falls.

Not in most of the states where the legal challenges will be.
Unless they’re going to physically alter the ballots, a recount in a state with a margin above a few thousand will change fuck all.

I assume there will be legal challenges everywhere and that they will try to get rid of specifically mail in ballots. That could be enough to give Trump the presidency.

They voted for an adulterer who thinks he doesn't need God's forgiveness because of their beliefs? They sound pretty hypocritical.

It's possible to justify ignoring Trump's love of sin in exchange for political measures which support the enforcement of Christian morality.

You don't. It's like joining the Mexican Mafia. Once you're in, it's for life. I highly doubt we will see millions of Trump fans renounce their beliefs.
