The Reaction by the People

Joe Biden won the popular and electoral vote, democrats rejoiced in the streets, while some republicans have claimed that his win was not deserved due to “rampant voter fraud” and the suppression of their poll watchers, and those claims were proved to be false. Democrats and minorities are acknowledging and celebrating how Kamala Harris will be the first woman, indian-american, and african-american (mixed) to serve as the Vice President of the united states. And people are continuing to argue about the democratic function of the electoral college in comparison to a regular popular vote.
