Pennsylvania certifies Biden win, dimming Trump hopes of overturning election results

Pennsylvania certified its election results Tuesday showing that President-elect Joe Biden won the state, solidifying Biden’s national victory and dealing yet another blow to President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the election's outcome.

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf, a Democrat, tweeted that the Pennsylvania Department of State certified the results Tuesday morning and "as required by federal law, I’ve signed the Certificate of Ascertainment for the slate of electors for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris."

"Today's certification is a testament to the incredible efforts of our local and state election officials, who worked tirelessly to ensure Pennsylvania had a free, fair and accurate process that reflects the will of the voters," Wolf added in a statement.

In total, 3,458,229 votes were certified for Biden and 3,377,674 were certified for Trump, giving Biden a margin of 80,555 votes. In 2016, Trump won the state by 44,292 votes.
