A long awaited formality; a vote on Monday by members of the Electoral College to formally recognise Joe Biden as the next US president has taken on unusual import this year with Donald Trump refusing to admit defeat.

The results of the November 3 vote have been certified by each of the 50 States and the District of Columbia; the Democrat won with a record 81.3 million votes, or 51.3 percent of those cast, to 74.2 million , and 46.8 percent, for the Republican President.

But in the United States, the occupant of the White House is chosen by indirect universal suffrage , with each State allocating its electors — whose numbers are essentially based on population — to the candidate who carried the State.

">

The results confirm an easy victory for Biden , with 306 of the 538 electoral votes , to 232 for Trump , with 270 required for election.
Electoral College members meet Monday(Today) to formalise the process , though the electors actually meet separately in each state .
Biden will then deliver a speech in the evening to celebrate the latest confirmation of his win and

“the strength and resilience” of US democracy — a clear jab at Trump’s unprecedented stance.
Electors are local political officials or activists, civil society figures or friends of candidates.

">

Most are unknown to the wider public, though National personalities occasionally take part — like Hillary Clinton, who lost to Trump in the 2016 election but who will vote Monday in New York to confirm President – elect Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

Although there have been a few “faithless electors” in past years— who cast votes for someone other than the candidate who won their State — there have never been enough to change an election outcome. So Biden’s victory will become all the more official on Monday.

But Trump, still the legal occupant of the White House until January 20 , has continued to make baseless assertions that the November vote was the “MOST CORRUPT ELECTION IN U.S. HISTORY,” as he tweeted yet again on Sunday .

">

He added,

“How do states and politicians confirm an election where corruption and irregularities are documented throughout ?”
