Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs touches elbow with Gov. Doug Ducey, a Republican. They agree that the election went well.
Arizona has formally achieved the outcome of the presidential election of the state in which Joe Biden is the winner.
In Wisconsin, the same message is expected, but new legal approaches are also expected from President Trump.
Secretary of State Katie Hobbs signed the election results in Phoenix on Monday, The Arizona Republic reports. He did so alongside, among others, the Republican Governor of Arizona Doug Ducey and the 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 and spearheaded by President Rudy Giuliani’s attorney, with the crowd arguing that the result should be rejected outright, even if state courts did not deem its legal issues sufficient.
Trump has five days to appeal the Arizona result now that it is in plain text.
Also in Wisconsin, the election results will be certified on Monday local time, but that doesn’t mean the matter is settled there either.
“The reason for this is that the Trump campaign cannot appeal until it has been certified,” Ann Jacobs, chair of the state election commission, told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Paid – backed
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.
Trump has already announced that he will make a new attempt in Wisconsin on Tuesday. The plan this time assumes that they will be able to find illegal votes among those cast in Wisconsin and also enough so that the result is different.
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.
