Donald Trump’s long farewell

Current US President Donald Trump and his Republican allies suffered another defeat by contesting the election results. In the state of Georgia, Judge Steven Grimberg rejected a conservative attorney’s request for a court order that, among other things, should stop the certification of the election result. Trump has also suffered losses in trials in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Nevada.
The Georgia court also dismissed a plaintiff’s attack on mail ballots. Granting the court order requested by the plaintiff “would create confusion, undermine public confidence in the election and potentially expel more than one million voters from Georgia,” the verdict said.
Democrat Joe Biden’s narrow election victory in Georgia has now been officially confirmed. Responsible Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and Governor Brian Kemp certified the results Friday afternoon. Biden won the votes of all 16 US state electors with a majority of 12,670 votes ahead of Trump. Due to the adjusted result, the state had started a count. As a result, Biden’s lead had shrunk, before leading with around 14,000 votes.
However, Trump would have until Tuesday to request another vote recount in Georgia. Trump claims that there was massive electoral fraud in the November 3 election. However, it has not provided strong evidence of this. That was also the reasoning with which several justices recently dismissed the claims of Trump and his allies.
