Somewhere in the US there will be a recount. Probably more than one. Here are somethings to keep in mind:
When you go to vote be observant. Give everyone the benefit of the doubt, but if you see anything untoward, tell the election judge.
If the machine does not seem to register your vote please consult with the election officer before you press the vote button.
If you see anything untoward or experience difficulty with the voting machines please report it your local board of elections. Please contact the campaigns and local Democratic committee via email and repeat what you told the Board of Electitons and their response. This is extremely helpful to lawyers in recount situations.
If there is a recount, and you have some funds, please contribute to that candidate’s recount fight. You need execellent lawyers to prevail in a recount situation.
If there is a recount in your jurisdiction, please volunteer as a witness or whatever that candidate requires.
When Corazon Aquino’s husband was murdered she might have reasonably concluded that the thugs were in charge and nothing could be done. Instead she perservered and overthrew a dictator. There is a lesson there. Consistent non-violent political pressure wins.
Democracy lives.
