U.S. voters have spoken: What's next to make the election results official?

This year's election was not the last step in selecting Joe Biden as the next American president. Under a system that's been tweaked over two centuries, there is still a weeks-long timeline during which the 538-member Electoral College picks the president.

U.S. voters have spoken: What's next to make the election results official?​

WASHINGTON -- This year's election was not the last step in selecting Joe Biden as the next American president. Under a system that's been tweaked over two centuries, there is still a weeks-long timeline during which the 538-member Electoral College formally selects the president.

A look at the key steps:

When American citizens voted for Biden or President Donald Trump, they really were voting for electors in their state. Those electors in most cases are committed to support the winning candidate in the state. The number of electors is equal to the number of electoral votes held by each state. State laws vary on how electors are selected, but, generally, a slate of electors for each party's candidate is chosen by state party leaders.

States are still counting and certifying the results of the popular vote. When the count is completed, each governor is required by law to prepare "as soon as practicable" documents known as "Certificates of Ascertainment" of the vote. The certificates list the electors' names and the number of votes cast for the winner and loser. The certificates, carrying the seal of each state, are sent to the archivist of the United States.

Dec. 8 is the deadline for resolving election disputes at the state level. All state recounts and court contests over presidential election results are to be completed by this date. Trump's campaign is contesting the vote count in several states through legal challenges, but none of those efforts are expected to alter the outcome.

Dec. 14: Electors vote by paper ballot in their respective states and the District of Columbia. Thirty-three states and D.C. have laws or party regulations requiring electors to vote the same way the popular vote goes in the state. In some states, rogue electors can be replaced or subjected to penalties, according to the Congressional Research Service. The votes for president and vice-president are counted and the electors sign six "Certificates of the Vote." The certificates, along with other official papers, are sent by registered mail to various officials, including the president of the Senate.

Dec. 23: The certificates must be delivered to the designated officials. If they are not delivered, the law provides alternative avenues for getting the results to Washington.

Jan. 6: The House and Senate hold a joint session to count the electoral votes. If one ticket has received 270 or more electoral votes, the president of the Senate, currently Vice-President Mike Pence, announces the results. With the verdict in some states still to come, Biden already has won enough states to be awarded more than 270 electoral votes.

Members of Congress may object to returns from any state as they are announced. Objections must be made in writing by at least one member of the House and one in the Senate. If the objection meets certain requirements, each chamber meets separately to debate the objection for a maximum of two hours. Afterward, each chamber votes to accept or reject the objection. Back in joint session, the results of the respective votes are announced. Any objection to a state's electoral vote has to be approved by both houses in order for any contested votes to be excluded.

If neither presidential candidate got at least 270 electoral votes, the House would decide the election, based on the 12th Amendment to the Constitution. If required, the House would elect the president. Each state delegation has one vote and it takes 26 votes to win.

Jan. 20: Biden takes the oath of office on Inauguration Day.

Globe editorial: Donald Trump launches one final assault on U.S. democracy

Trump’s attempt to delegitimize the election is inflicting lasting damage on America

www.theglobeandmail.com

Let’s be clear: U.S. President Donald Trump is not simply refusing to admit defeat to his opponent, president-elect Joe Biden. He’s not just filing Hail Mary lawsuits to overturn voting results, or sticking to character by spreading fictions about stolen votes.

Those are just the mechanics of a more dangerous game, one in which Mr. Trump is attempting to delegitimize an election. In doing so, he is inflicting lasting damage on American democracy.

It’s not enough to hope that Mr. Trump is just being Mr. Trump, and that in a few days he will give up this typically self-serving charade. His outrageous claim that he won the election needs to be clearly rejected now, especially by his own party, before it gathers too much strength to be stopped.

And it is indeed picking up momentum. Mike Pompeo, the U.S. Secretary of State, declined on Tuesday to acknowledge Mr. Biden’s win and said that, “There will be a smooth transition to a second Trump administration."

If that was a joke, it was a very bad one. Those words, from the cabinet secretary responsible for foreign affairs, must have been a shock to the many world leaders who have congratulated Mr. Biden on his victory.

Mr. Trump’s Attorney-General, William Barr, is also refusing to dismiss the President’s claims. And Senator Mitch McConnell, the leading Republican in Congress, this week said that Mr. Trump is under no obligation to “immediately, cheerfully” accept the election results.

They argue that allegations of voter fraud must be investigated. But Mr. Trump hasn’t offered any credible evidence of fraud, because none exists.

The election went off without major hitches, let alone fraud, and produced a winner. Despite the constraints of COVID-19, the level of voter turnout was higher than it’s been in decades. One state, Georgia, is close enough that there will be a recount, but even if that somehow overturns Mr. Biden’s current 14,000-vote margin of victory, he will still have won the presidency. Mr. Trump lost, fair and square.

But Mr. Trump and his enablers are conditioning supporters to believe that the election was rigged, a cancerous lie many Americans may never stop believing. Recounts and unfounded claims of fraud won’t change the election’s outcome, but a steady drip of doubt from Republican leaders and Trump allies will delegitimize it in other ways.

The President has done this before. After the 2016 election, he made up a story that illegal voters in California were the reason Hillary Clinton won the popular vote. He set up a commission to investigate that fairy tale, only to shut it down in 2018 when it was clear it was looking for something that didn’t exist.

He is a proven fabulist about elections in America, and now he is further poisoning the well.

In Georgia, Republican Senators David Purdue and Kelly Loeffler, facing runoff elections in January that will decide which party controls the Senate, have picked up Mr. Trump’s rhetoric. They’re now claiming, without evidence, that the Nov. 3 election was an “embarrassment” marked by widespread “failures,” and are demanding the resignation of Georgia’s chief election official.

The potential for lasting damage is immense. Mr. Trump has spent his presidency loosening the bolts on the conventions, principles and public faith that support American democracy. Even if he eventually slinks off into history, he will leave behind a weakened system that another populist could exploit and undermine.

That is not an overblown fear. So-called “managed democracies” such as Russia, Turkey and Hungary would love to see the U.S. slide into their camp.

Such a fall from grace would be fed to their people as proof of the failings of unfettered democratic freedom, and used to vindicate the suppression of dissent that keeps them in line. That’s why there are countries that hope Mr. Trump’s attack on the election outcome will succeed.

The calamity that would ensue if a legitimate American election was overturned by a mendacious demagogue who refused to hand over power is simply too enormous to contemplate. And yet Mr. Trump is forcing the world to imagine it.

American democracy is likely to survive Mr. Trump’s last sabotage attempt. But the wounds he’s inflicting on the way out, and the scars they will leave, will not be quick to heal.

春长，看看宁汉合流的解释

所以，这些所谓国际媒体，实际上就是和本地中文媒体一样一样，在中共的金钱攻势下，溃不成军

你是说，西方媒体都被中共收买了?

你说说看，还有没有没被收买的西方媒体我们可以看的？

利益使然，川普使得他们背后的金主利益受损。

就像FOX老板是迪斯尼老板，如果一味反共，在上海/香港的迪斯尼生意就会受到影响。

总有一些生意，会涉及中共可以掌控或者威胁到的对方，所以，一边是收买，一边是威胁/控制。

The Walt Disney Company’s acquisition of 21st Century Fox will become official early Wednesday morning, with Fox News becoming a key part of the newly created Fox Corporation.
