Arizona Secretary of State, Democrat Katie Hobbs, touches elbow with Governor and Republican Doug Ducey. They agree that the election went well. Hobb’s mouth guard is adorned with the Arizona flag.
Arizona and Wisconsin have formally nailed the results of their presidential elections with Joe Biden as the winner.
But new legal approaches are still expected from President Trump.
Arizona State Attorney Katie Hobbs signed the election results in Phoenix on Monday, The Arizona Republic reports. He did so in conjunction with, 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, said Ducey, when the eminent people emphasized that the election 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 stood at another event a few miles away. It was carried out under the auspices of the Trump campaign, led by President Rudy Giuliani’s attorney. They maintain 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.
