Joe Biden clears 270-vote mark as electors affirm his victory

The Hindu  

The Electoral College gave Joe Biden a majority of its votes on December 14, confirming his victory in last month’s election in state-by-state voting that took on added importance this year because of President Donald Trump’s refusal to concede he lost. California’s 55 electoral votes put Mr. Biden over the top, clearing the 270-vote mark that affirmed he will be the nation’s next President. There was little suspense and no surprises as all the electoral votes allocated to Mr. Biden and Mr. Trump in last month’s popular vote went to each man. Despite Mr. Biden’s wins in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, Republicans who would have been Trump electors met anyway. Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, whom Mr. Trump defeated four years ago, were among New York’s 29 electors for Mr. Biden and Ms. Harris.
