All 50 States and DC have Now Certified their Presidential Election Results


All 50 States and the District of Columbia have Now Certified their Presidential Results, as the Electoral College Process moves forward with the Meeting of Electors on Monday.

President-Elect Joe Biden Won 306 Electoral Votes, and Trump 232. It takes 270 Electoral Votes of the 538 available to become President.

The States' Certifications come as Trump has Baselessly claimed that the Election was Rigged and sowed Doubt about the Outcome of the Presidential Race.

Dozens of Lawsuits Challenging the Results have been Dismissed at the State and Federal Levels across the Country since the November Election.

Each State has Different Processes for Certifying Results, and some States Certified their Slate of Presidential Electors separately from State and Local Election Results.

The next Major step in the Electoral College Process is the Meeting of the Electors, who are Required by Law to Convene on the First Monday after the Second Wednesday in December, which this year, is December 14th. The Electors' Votes are later Transmitted to Officials and Counted in a Joint Session of Congress, on January 6th.

Some States have Laws that seek to Bind their Electors to the Winning State Candidate and in some instances Stipulate that so-called "Faithless Electors" may be Subject to Penalties or Replaced by another Elector.

The Supreme Court Ruled this Summer that such Laws Punishing Members of the Electoral College for Breaking a Pledge to Vote for the State's Vote Winner are Constitutional. The Ruling leaves in place Laws in 32 States and the District of Columbia that Bind their Share of the 538 Electors to Vote for their States’ Popular-Vote Winner.

States Require Electors to Sign an Agreement that they will Vote for their State Presidential Winner, like: I do hereby consent and do hereby agree to serve as elector for President and Vice-President of the United States, if elected to that position, and do hereby agree that, if so elected, I shall cast my ballot as such elector for:
