Joe Biden wins Electoral College

 The Electoral College has elected Joe Biden as the next President of the United States. Though Americans took to the polls in November, the Constitution states that the body of the Electoral College actually decides who will be president and vice president. Throughout the day, electors from each state represented the will of the people and cast their votes in accordance with the decision of voters in their respective states.

The Electoral College vote is typically a formality, but Pres. Trump's continued efforts to overturn the election have made this year different. The next step is for Congress to count the Electoral College's votes on January 6. This also is typically a formality, but again could prove different as Republicans continue to support Trump's baseless claims of voter fraud.

Six weeks after Election Day, just a small handful of Republican members of Congress have publicly acknowledged Biden as president-elect, let alone offered the customary congratulations for winning the election. 126 GOP members of Congress signed onto an amicus brief supporting the most recent attempt to throw out the election results in court. Trump and his allies have yet to provide any solid evidence of the widespread voter fraud they allege. 59 legal challenges to the election have been thrown out or withdrawn.
