Another milestone.
(CNN)All 50 states and the District of Columbia have now certified their presidential results, according to CNN's tally, as the Electoral College process moves forward with the meeting of electors on Monday.
West Virginia became the final state to certify its presidential election results Wednesday, formally declaring that President Donald Trump is entitled to the state's five electoral votes. Biden Transition
President-elect Joe Biden is projected to win 306 electoral votes, and Trump is projected to win 232. It takes 270 electoral votes of the 538 available to become president. The states' certifications come as Trump has baselessly claimed that the election was rigged and sowed doubt about the outcome of the presidential race. Dozens of lawsuits challenging the results have been dismissed at the state and federal levels across the country since the November election. Each state has different processes for certifying results, and some states certified their slate of presidential electors separately from state and local election results.

The electors' votes are later transmitted to officials and counted in a joint session of Congress on January 6. Some states have laws that seek to bind their electors to the winning candidate and in some instances stipulate that so-called "faithless electors" may be subject to penalties or replaced by another elector. The Supreme Court ruled this summer that such laws punishing members of the Electoral College for breaking a pledge to vote for the state's popular vote winner are constitutional.
Next event is December 14, 2020 when the human electors vote in their respective states. This has historically been merely a formality but who the hell knows in 2020.
all cons fall apart at the end. trump has gotten a lot of mileage out of his election fraud fundraiser.
The question is: when will the marks finally figure it out?
I'd say probably never. If they haven't figured it out by now, they're not likely to. I'll bet some have (or continue to) double down on Trump's BS.
... and hold any criticism of the bullshit as a "badge of honor" .
That's like being proud to come in last in a race. Or getting an award just for participating. So empty and hollow.
never. the majority of trumpsters still believe the birth certificate bullshit.
BANKS - Your loans are due now.
TRUMP - Here is 100 million.
BANKS - It isn't enough.
TRUMP - Give me two weeks. I will get my idiot supporters to send me money via another scam.
The case Texas brought along with at least 17 other states and over 100 congressional Republican members that are supporting the case the SCOTUS decision should be made before Monday when the final vote takes place. As bizarre is that is it should be interesting, to say the least to the final vote
But... but... but... fraud !
TPM: These Are the Final Numbers
