Has Joe Biden Been Certified As Next President?

[ChingWan23]

As Georgia in recounting and a few lawsuits?

[ElanaWeeks]

I think that Trump's team will go all in at sue and votes in some states will be recalculated.

[webbo3]

No, the electorol college does not vote until Dec 14th, no winner until then.

[Peter Pedant]

No to answer you.

they SAY that the date is 14 Dec when the people going to the electoral college are named. Their vote seems less important

There is no - office of who is president - to certify who is what because no one really foresaw a situation such as this.

[Jackdaw33]

Has Joe Biden Been Certified?
The question should have ended there.

[TrevorThePug]

The ascertainment has not happened yet, this is being held off by the current Trump appointee of the GSA. But delaying it until mid-December is not uncommon.

[ChingWan23]

Why so many countries leaders already congratulated him and started dialogue.....

[ChingWan23]

Jackdaw33 - you made me laugh.

[TrevorThePug]

"Why so many countries leaders already congratulated him and started dialogue....."

Because speaking to little donny was always a waste of time and they prefer to leave him to his twitter meltdown. He's really going for Fox News at the moment, its hilarious.

Trump should have been certified years ago.

It’s worth repeating for the umpteenth time that it’s normal for news outlets to call the winner of a presidential election as the count always goes on a long time after the result is known and they don’t make it official until all votes are counted.
The only difference this time is that the losing side won’t admit defeat

[lankeela]

Jackdaw at 18.11 surely deserves a best answer

[youngmafbog]

"The only difference this time is that the losing side won’t admit defeat"

Bit like the Dems for the last four years then!

Hopefully we wont see a repeat of that by the Reps.

Hillary Clinton conceded on the following day.
What are you talking about?
Even Al Gore conceded in 2000 before being advised to “unconcede” soon after
On that occasion it came down to 500 votes in one state.
This result really isn’t close.

[TrevorThePug]

China has just congratulated Joe Biden on his win.

[Peter Pedant]

no because there isnt an official who certifies
unlike a returning officer in a parliamentary election in england

the president has today wondered who would be president in January 2021 for the first time ( 14 nov)

This was in the context of Covid planning. Well the current president doesnt have one. But there are plans. and so who would be

I wonder if he has said 'no covid planning' and the flunkeys have said - "we are not federal employees, you cant tell us what to do"

[Peter Pedant]

On that occasion it came down to 500 votes in one state.

576 in Florida. That was where the Supreme Ct said to stop counting. and Possibly where Trump got the idea of stopping the election by appealing to the Supreme Court. Commentators have said that the facts are completely different this time round

[ichkeria]

It seems, from his speech last night, that Trump may be preparing to face reality.
“Whatever administration ones next, we will see” doesn’t sound like someone up for a big and probably pointless fight. And no mention of the election and no questions taken ...

[Peter Pedant]

Napoleon spent 1815-1821 writing books on how he should have won the battle of waterloo (*) so there is a precedent


(*) you know the battle of 1915 that 43 % of AB think ended the Gt War

[mushroom25]

within the last hour, the Donald tweeted:-

//The Consent Decree signed by the Georgia Secretary of State, with the approval of Governor Brian Kemp, at the urging of
stacey abrams, makes it impossible to check & match signatures on ballots and envelopes, etc. They knew they were going to cheat. Must expose real signatures! //

doesn't sound like the towel will be thrown just yet........

[Peter Pedant]

and no one is saying

no mr president - you cant recount in the way YOU like it - and everything else is illegal

the writs /complaints are being heard - and thrown out
Georgia has recounted at rocket speed, or is it my imagination
