All 6 battleground states Trump challenged have affirmed their votes for Biden
From Jeremy Herb
State electors are still casting their ballots for president today, opening the formal Electoral College process of sealing Joe Biden's election as the 46th president of the United States.
Electors from battleground states Nevada, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Michigan and Wisconsin have now cast ballots for Biden.
Two key states that Trump won, North Carolina and Ohio, cast their ballots for the President on Monday.
Trump has continued to spread false claims of widespread fraud despite courts in all of the battleground states rejecting his campaign's challenges to the election.
The Supreme Court dealt the final blow against his efforts to overturn the election result late Friday, dismissing a case brought by the Texas attorney general that sought to disenfranchise millions of voters in four states.
Wisconsin's Supreme Court denied yet another challenge from Trump's campaign on Monday, just before the state's electors were scheduled to meet and cast their votes for Biden.
Today's process is a constitutionally-mandated ritual that's typical no more than a curious afterthought following a presidential election, but the Electoral College vote has taken on newfound significance this year as Trump and his GOP allies make unprecedented efforts to subvert the popular will of the voters and overturn Biden's November victory.
