Wisconsin and Arizona on Monday became the last two of six states where President Trump has contested his defeat to finalize their vote counts, dealing a fresh blow to his quest to overturn President-elect Joe Bidens victory as a chorus of Republicans and Democrats offered support for the elections integrity.
Trump and his allies vowed to continue pressing legal claims challenging the election results in several states, but such efforts have met with resounding failures in the courts across the country. Mondays certifications brought to a close a key period in which Trump and his advisers had said they would be able to derail Bidens win.
Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs (D) certified her states election results alongside the Republican governor and attorney general. Several hours later, the Democratic chairwoman of the Wisconsin Elections Commission, Ann Jacobs, completed her states canvass and declared Biden the winner of the states 10 electoral votes, a declaration that Democratic Gov. Tony Evers promptly certified.
Their actions brought Biden one step closer to an official victory on Dec. 14, when the electoral college meets.
