Arizona Electoral College votes confirm Biden win
Associated PressPHOENIX — Arizona’s 11 Electoral College members cast their votes for Democrat Joe Biden and running mate Kamala Harris Monday, following state law that requires delegates from the party whose candidates received the most votes to back the winning candidate. A state Senate panel chaired by a Republican also held a hearing on the election Monday, although it can do nothing to reverse the Electoral College delegates’ votes. A few hours after the actual Electoral College vote, an election official argued for the dismissal of a lawsuit in Pinal County that seeks to decertify Biden’s victory in the state. Roopali Desai, an attorney for Democratic Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, said the state’s Electoral College votes had already been cast and that Burk fails to meet a key requirement for contesting elections -- she claimed in her lawsuit that she was a qualified Arizona voter, when she was in fact not registered to vote in the election that she is now challenging.
