"I want to thank our clerks, election administrators, and poll workers across our state for working tirelessly to ensure we had a safe, fair, and efficient election". The Post noted that "there are very few limitations on how money going to" the Trump leadership PAC can be spent.
The ballots the Trump campaign is seeking to have tossed fall into four buckets, according to a copy of the lawsuit circulated by the Trump campaign: 170,000 in-person absentee ballots, 5,500 ballots that had some witness address missing, 28,400 ballots from voters who claimed they were "indefinitely confined" and 17,300 ballots returned during "Democracy in the Park" events hosted by the city of Madison. Trump's legal team has claimed, without evidence, the ballots were subject to fraud. "Wisconsin can not allow the over three million legal ballots to be eroded by even a single illegal ballot", said Trump campaign lawyer Jim Troupis.
In a tweet late Monday, Rob Flaherty, digital director for the Biden campaign, called Trump's "election defense" fundraising ploy a "plain and simple grift".
The results in Wisconsin and Arizona come after other battleground states, including Pennsylvania and MI, earlier certified Biden's victory. "The system is strong", Mr Ducey said.
Sean Hannity questioned Lindsay Graham about the possibility of Donald Trump facing a Federal investigation for crimes he's accused of committing in office and during his campaign, suggesting that perhaps the lame-duck president should pardon himself and his family preemptively before leaving office.
Ms Hobbs said Arizona voters should know that the election "was conducted with transparency, accuracy and fairness in accordance with Arizona's laws and election procedures, despite numerous unfounded claims to the contrary".
Biden is only the second Democrat in 70 years to win Arizona. The state has 10 electoral votes.
Microsoft Gives Some Employees the Option to Work From Home Permanently
As The Verge reports , employees will have the option to work remotely for less than 50 percent of their normal work week. The tech giant had earlier set January 2021 as a tentative timeline for its workers to return to offices.
Arizona certification came at the same time when Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani made a plea before several Republican State legislature that the lawmakers could and should throw out the election results.
But they did not provide evidence of widespread fraud.
In US presidential elections, states often take until long after election day to officially certify vote counts.
They had requested permission to hold a formal legislative hearing at the Capitol but were denied by the Republican House speaker and Senate president. The Trump campaign alleges some of those voters don't meet the criteria.
On Monday, Mr. Trump signed a campaign email that breathlessly told supporters that the end of November - almost four weeks after Election Day - represented "our most IMPORTANT deadline EVER".
"To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have affected a different outcome in the election", the news service quoted Barr as saying.
