Members of the Electoral College are gathering in state capitals today to cast their votes for president, in the latest step formalizing Joe Biden’s election victory. Over the weekend, courts across the country handed Trump more defeats in his attempts to overturn his loss. The Supreme Court on Friday rejected nine to zero a Texas-led effort, backed by a majority of Republican House members, to throw out millions of votes in four battleground states Biden won. On Saturday, a federal judge rejected a Trump campaign lawsuit in Wisconsin seeking to toss over 200,000 ballots, and the Georgia Supreme Court rejected the latest appeal by Trump’s lawyers to overturn the state’s election results. Despite all this, Trump told Fox News Sunday his efforts to challenge the election results are “not over.”
Meanwhile, early voting in the two Senate runoffs in Georgia begins today. Democrats Rev. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff are challenging Republican incumbents Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue, respectively. Democrats need to win both races in order to control the Senate.
