Arizona State Attorney Katie Hobbs signed the election results in Phoenix on Monday, The Arizona Republic newspaper reports. He did it alongside, among others, Republican state governor Doug Ducey and his Republican attorney general.
– We are good at holding elections here in Arizona. The system is strong and that is why I have bragged about it so much, Ducey said, when prominent people emphasized that the elections went well and showed how this was controlled.
The fact that states certify their election results in previous elections has been seen as a mere formality, but due to the legal challenges of President Donald Trump, this time they are receiving more attention.
Side event
Within a few miles of the press conference where Hobbs and Ducey presented an outcome, several Republican state politicians were at another event just a few miles away. It was carried out under the auspices of the Trump campaign, spearheaded by President Rudy Giuliani’s attorney. They argue that the result should be rejected in its entirety, even if state courts have found none of its legal issues sufficient.
Trump has five days to appeal the Arizona result now that it is in plain text.
The election results were also certified in Wisconsin on Monday. Democrat Ann Jacobs, chair of the state election commission, signed the document declaring that Joe Biden won the state with just over 20,000 votes, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
The incumbent president initially demanded recalculations in Wisconsin’s two largest counties, for which his campaign had to pay the equivalent of nearly SEK 30 million. On Sunday, new results were announced, where Joe Biden had received another 87 votes.
Want to remove votes
But even there the matter is not resolved. Trump has already announced that he will make a new legal attempt in Wisconsin on Tuesday. The plan this time is to find invalid or illegal votes and also enough so that the result is different.
The Trump campaign has targeted, among other things, the practical handling of ballots and questioned that some people who voted by mail and referred to old age or disability do not meet the criteria for it.
However, a change in Wisconsin alone would not be enough to overturn the position nationally, where Biden leads with 306 electoral votes against Trump’s 232.

Arizona is a desert state in the southwestern United States, bordered by California in the west and Mexico in the south.
More than seven million people live in the state. The capital, Phoenix, is the fifth largest city in the country in terms of population (about 1.7 million).
Along the Colorado River is the Giant Canyon, also a World Heritage Site, the Grand Canyon.
The area was initially colonized by Spanish and later belonged to Mexico until the mid-19th century. More than a quarter of Arizona residents say they are descended from ethnic groups called Hispanic or Latino.
The state is a traditional bastion for Republicans, but has recently come to be seen as a master wave state.
Arizona is the only state in the US that does not alternate between summer and winter, with the exception of indigenous areas to the north.
Wisconsin has about 5.8 million residents and is located in the northern part of the central United States, on the border with Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois and Michigan, as well as a stretch of coastline along Lake Superior in the northwest.
The capital is Madison but the largest city is Milwaukee. This is where the Millers Brewery and the headquarters of the Harley Davidson motorcycle manufacturer are located.
The name of the state comes from one of the names of the indigenous people on the Wisconsin River, where the meaning of the name was that it flowed through a red landscape. It was first transcribed into French and then rewritten in English with the spelling that applies today.
Wisconsin is a state called the master of the wave, where it often stood and ranks between the Democratic and Republican majority. In the 2016 presidential election, Donald Trump won the state over Hillary Clinton with a margin of victory of 0.7 percentage points.
