Two battleground states of Arizona
and Wisconsin formally certified Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden as
the winner.
Two battleground
states of Arizona and Wisconsin on Monday formally certified Democratic
presidential candidate Joe
Biden as the winner.
Incumbent Donald
Trump had won both the states in 2016.
In Wisconsin, Biden won by 20,700 votes against Trump, who has refused to
concede the election results so far. He alleges that there were massive voters'
fraud and electoral malpractice.
Certifying the
result, Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers said, Today, I carried out my duty to
certify the November 3rd election, and as required by state and federal law,
I've signed the Certificate of Ascertainment for the slate of electors for
President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris.
The formal
certification from Wisconsin
came a day after the state completed the recounting of votes in two of its
counties as requested by Trump.
Earlier in the
day, Arizona, which traditionally has been a Republican stronghold, also
certified Biden as the winner with more than 10,000 votes.
Arizona has 11
members in the Electoral College. Biden now has 306 Electoral College votes
against Trump's 232.
Every Arizona
voter has my thanks and should know that they can stand proud that this
election was conducted with transparency, accuracy and fairness in accordance
with Arizona's laws and elections procedures despite numerous unfounded claims
to the contrary," Arizona Governor Dough Hobbs said.
