Can we call this a coup attempt yet?

As of about 17:00 EST on 2020-11-23, The State of Michigan certified Joseph Biden's win despite Trump's GOP overtures. The Board of State Canvassers, which has two Republicans and two Democrats, confirmed the results on a 3-0 vote with one abstention. The certification all but erases President Donald Trump's pathway to try to overturn the election results through legal challenges that have been dismissed in key states.

Newsweek seems to prognosticate Mr. Trump's next move...

The last thread we had on this subject was a matter of foreigners insisting we went wrong with Biden after over a quarter million died on Trump's watch. They really like to point the finger at some electronics & bank on their audience not understanding those industries.
Perhaps a corollary to the left version of Godwin's law is that mystery computers are the GOP bogeyman. Hillary's email server got so relentlessly trashed no one even remembers which emails they were talking about, a lawyer in his 70s with zero experience was appointed to run "cybersecurity" for the Trump organization; at which point much classified data was compromised & let's not forget the leveraging of WikiLeaks thru extremely suspicious court proceedings & scarcely believable rumours in order to pin the war crimes on the donkeys.
The fact of the matter is that America is a pretty amazing joke in terms of digital security. Trump's appointed head of the federal communications commission brainlessly signed off on allowing interference from 5G cellular networks to share GPS frequencies. Factually, we have a weaker military now in terms of raw technological capability. Need I remind you that the global positioning system was all theirs for some time?
Even regardless of the election's legitimacy, fewer deaths are bound to occur under world health organization membership. The fact of the matter is that computers are just tools that people are perfectly capable of using responsibly. I understand this to be news to those who use computers for zero-sum debates & reading propaganda.

It would depend on your definition of coup (below definitions from https://www.thefreedictionary.com/coup:
Given the position is held until January 20, no appropriation of leadership/power has occurred. However, declarations of a "President Elect" prior to the constitutionally required process having occured for granting the title could conceivably fit this definition.
Or, there is:
When you consider the amount of viloence from Antifa\BLM directed at the current President and his supporters, and the haste with which they determined that "their" candidate is now "President Elect", without waiting for the constitutional process to proceed (and in some cases seeking to hamper portion of this), this would conceivably also fit the definition...
So yes, it could be argued there is a coup attempt underway, although possibly not from the direction you expected.

There are people whose job it is to stall our constitutional process. They're called lawyers & there aren't usually countless lawyers involved in landslide electoral victories.
Asserting someone's life matters is not a statement of disrespect for the law.
Let us know when BLM overthrows our government.
