In 2020, the presidential election appears to be contested by some groups, including the president himself. Contested presidential elections have been a part of US history and in the 19th century they were more common. In many cases, it has often been because of the electoral college and popular vote discrepancies. In general, contested elections have been usually peacefully resolved, even if some parties continue to feel grieved long after the vote.
