Biden Captures Electoral Votes From All States Trump Contested

Source: Bloomberg

Electoral College members in all six battleground states where President Donald Trump most fiercely contested the results cast their ballots for Democrat Joe Biden on Monday, effectively cutting off the president’s path to overturning the election.

The vote marks the watershed moment some Republican lawmakers have said would signal the end of their support for attempts to overturn the Nov. 3 election.

The 16 electors in Michigan voted for Biden, following the 63 votes cast for him earlier in Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Biden will have enough electoral votes to be officially declared president-elect when members have cast 270 ballots, which is expected after California votes. Congress will officially count the votes on Jan. 6.

Electors in 50 U.S. states and District of Columbia are voting for president and vice president in time-honored constitutional ceremonies that have drawn new attention this year after Trump refused to concede and insisted without evidence that the election was “rigged.”

guards there and get better treatment.

I'd prefer he be sent to the Super Max in Florence, Colorado, the "Alcatraz of the Rockies".

He can shuffle around the courtyard with the likes of Ted Kaczynski and Timothy McVeigh.

. . . DT's hopes that "his" electors in those states will vote and send "competing" Certificates of Vote to the OFR and Congress will also be dashed. Just as his vain hopes of legislatures stepping in were.

Even after this milestone, they are trying to keep their propaganda in the news by filing more meritless lawsuits (like the one just filed in NM on an issue that was clearly resolved three weeks ago). I doubt any of these will receive anything but cursory attention as the distribution of the vaccine takes over the news

But he will still vent his toxic spleen on Fux & Fiends tonight. And on Hannity-Insanity’s show. He sees his re-election prospects vanishing by the hour.

Hopeful the WH (civil service) staff are taking precautions to protect the historic artifacts in the people’s Executive Mansion. Removing or disabling document shredders. And safeguarding other valuables.

We — as a Democratic Republic — will survive. Despite the efforts of Putin’s puppet.
