Pennsylvania certified the results of the US presidential election that gave the Democrat the winner Joe biden on November 3 in that key state, Gov. Tom Wolf said Tuesday.
The Pennsylvania State Department “certified the results,” Wolf tweeted, announcing that he had signed the certificate confirming the triumph of Biden and his running mate Kamala Harris over President Donald Trump.
In this traditionally Democratic state, Trump beat Hillary Clinton four years ago by just 44,000 votes.
This year, Biden surpassed Trump by more than 81 thousand votes votes out of a total of 6.9 million votes in this key state – in which the Democratic president-elect was born-, where the justice dismissed a few days ago the accusations of the current president, who accuses widespread electoral fraud.
Judge Matthew Brann wrote in his ruling that the Republican mogul’s team had brought “speculative charges” in its allegations of vote-by-mail fraud.
The Electoral College will elect the new president on December 14, but first the states will have to certify the results.
Trump’s refusal to acknowledge his defeat, however, complicated the process and raised concerns that it could damage Americans’ confidence in his voting system.
Only a handful of Republicans have so far recognized Biden as the winner and asked Trump to back down.
