After hundreds of thousands of votes were counted in the US state of Wisconsin, Joe Biden’s lead even increased. Then the state officially confirmed Biden’s victory, just hours after Arizona did the same.
Wisconsin has officially confirmed Joe Biden’s election victory after hundreds of thousands of votes have been counted again. With the confirmation of the election result by the Democratic chairwoman of the state election commission, Ann Jacobs, a five-day window opens for President Donald Trump to take legal action against the election result. Governor Tony Evers signed the result that night, making it official.
Trump announced that he would file a complaint in advance on Saturday. He goes on to claim without any evidence that he lost the election only because of electoral fraud. Joe Biden’s lead in the US state increased by 87 to a total of nearly 20,700 votes when the partial count was repeated. Trump had paid $ 3 million for the counts in two Democratic districts: Dane and Milauwkee. The electoral commission is made up of representatives of both parties.
Arizona also confirms Biden’s victory
Earlier, another hard-fought American state, Arizona, had officially confirmed the outcome of the presidential election, and thus Biden’s victory. The Republican Governor of Arizona, Doug Ducey, signed the election documents and reported the final result to Washington. Biden won in Arizona by about 10,500 votes.
With that, incumbent Donald Trump suffered another setback in his attempts to overturn the November 3 election result with legal attacks. His attorneys had vainly demanded the result in Arizona. Trump still claims without proof that he lost the election only because of massive electoral fraud. Major states like Georgia and Pennsylvania had previously confirmed the election result.
The majority share in the Senate remains uncertain
Confirmation of the election results in Arizona also means that the majority of Trump’s Republicans in the 100-seat Senate will drop from 53 to 52 votes. Democrat Mark Kelly, who defeated Republican Senator Marthy McSally in a special vote, will take office this week. The remaining senators, newly elected regularly, will not be sworn in until early 2021. Whether Democrats or Republicans will have a majority in the Senate will not be decided until two second-round elections in Georgia on January 5.
Among other things, the Senate votes candidates for positions in the central government. This could limit Biden’s freedom of action as president if Republicans retain control of the House of Congress.
