Electors from every state will meet on Monday to formally elect Joe Biden as the next president amid an unprecedented effort by President Trump to overturn the election.
The Electoral College vote, which comes after all 50 states have certified their results, is not in doubt. Biden should finish with 306 votes, compared to 232 for Trump.
But the vote will take place as the sitting president refuses to accept the outcome, which has never happened in modern times.
Trump and his allies have doubled down on unsubstantiated claims that the election was stolen from him through widespread corruption and fraud.
