The Electoral College has met to confirm Joe Biden as the president-elect.
Despite President Trump's lawsuits challenging the results of the Nov. 3 election against Biden, 538 electors from all 50 states and Washington, D.C., convened Monday, and by Monday evening, they had given Biden the 270 votes he needed to claim the White House.
Biden was expected to end the meeting with 306 electoral votes to Trump's 232, reflecting the popular votes from each of the jurisdictions.
The gathering garnered more attention this cycle after key Republicans, such as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, made it the deadline for him to acknowledge Biden as the president-elect.

Outside of legal challenges, there is still one mechanism Trump allies can use to thwart Biden temporarily: a House lawmaker and a senator can question the election results during a joint session of Congress on Jan. 6.
Alabama Republican Rep. Mo Brooks has already indicated he's likely to question the results. The strategy, however, requires the support of the House, which is controlled by Democrats, though with a narrow margin.
As of 5 p.m., there had been no faithless electors nor a group of pro-Trump alternative electors alluded to Monday morning by White House adviser Stephen Miller.
Miller told Fox and Friends that Trump would likely dispute the election in courts until Biden's inauguration on Jan. 20.
"We have more than enough time to right the wrong of this fraudulent election result and certify Donald Trump as the winner of the election," he said. "As we speak today, an alternate slate of electors in the contested states is going to vote, and we're going to send those results up to Congress."
Texas electors also voted 34-4 to push Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin's Republican-led legislatures to appoint their more pro-Trump electors despite Biden taking those states.
State legislatures who appoint the Electors {Electoral College} hands country to socialists.
Well we are back to “ She loves me, she loves me NOT.”..... where are we now in the process folks? I am personally getting so dizzy I am about to faint!
Make watergate look like a kindergarten prank.
No. He gets...the outhouse.

And communism is right around the corner.
Time for some some sane states to seriously consider their options.
“Rage, rage against the dying of the light”
Tritium sights.
Yep, and Trump not firing Fauci, and praising the Chinese, and...
it’s not over......

That’s a good editorial correction. I’ll go with that. ;)
Biden-—The great pretender
Oh-oh, yes I’m the great pretender
Pretending that I’m doing well
My need is such I pretend too much
I’m lonely but no one can tell.
Oh-oh, yes I’m the great pretender
Adrift in a world of my own
I’ve played the game but to my real shame
You’ve left me to grieve all alone
Too real is this feeling of make-believe
Too real when I feel what my heart can’t conceal
Yes I’m the great pretender
Just laughin’ and gay like a clown
I seem to be what I’m not, you see
I’m wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you’re still around
Too real is this feeling of make-believe
Too real when I feel what my heart can’t conceal
Yes I’m the great pretender
Just laughin’ and gay like the clown
I seem to be what I’m not, you see
I’m wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you’re still around
RE: All Electoral Votes are Sealed and until Vice President Pence opens them and counts them NOBODY really knows Anything. Nothing Prevents Pence from REFUSING to Count any States Votes if there is still a Controversy over the Vote, and it looks like all these 5 States will still have them on January 6 2021.
Yes, There is still a lot of activity going on with court challenges and alternate slates of electors but, right now, it would seem as though those may have been rendered moot by the votes case in the Electoral College.
Biden will be known as the Father of the destruction of the US
“Do not concede under any circumstances.”
I keep hearing that January 20th is the day. I think things are still in the air.
So far, the American resistance to voter fraud has come up short. It’s been very disappointing to me. There has been a lack of resolve, at the Supreme Court for one. I think we can still pull this out, if there is enough resolve by the GOP at the state level. Perhaps things will become clearer in the next few days.
I do believe President Trump is fighting for America and Americans. President Harris will sell us out.
But only one set certified by each state's Secretary of State. Right?
Pence won’t do that. That’s a ridiculous scenario.
The EC voted. Votes are sealed until January.
Fake news.
China 🇨🇳 is doing somersaults.
RE: But only one set certified by each state’s Secretary of State. Right?
I thought it is the STATE LEGISLATURE who decides the electors to represent the state, not the Secretary of State. HAVE THE RESPECTIVE STATES DECIDED ALREADY?
