Certifying Trump win by Congress is 2 months away<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

(NewsNation<\/a>) \u2014 The voting has finished, and the counting continues even though we know Donald Trump will return to the White House in January, but the process of making Trump\u2019s victory legal and official is far from over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cElection certification refers to the process of election officials attesting that the tabulation and canvassing of the election are complete and accurate and that the election results are a true and accurate accounting of all votes cast in a particular election,\u201d according to an explanation by the Election Assistance Commission.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The United States\u2019 unique Electoral College<\/a> system mandates that every state certify the appointment of its electors no later than December 11, which is six days before the Electoral College will meet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Trump\u2019s proposed tax plan could mean for American incomes<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some states, including several of the battleground states, require audits before certification. Many do it via a \u201crisk-limiting\u201d audit: manually checking a statistical sample of paper ballots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When December 17 arrives, the electors meet, but not all together. Each state\u2019s chosen electors will meet in their state capital and cast their votes based on their state\u2019s results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Federal law doesn\u2019t require an elector to vote for the winner of their state\u2019s popular vote, but 38 states and the District of Columbia have passed laws requiring electors to vote for the candidates for whom they\u2019ve pledged to vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What happens now that Senate projected to be majority Republican?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those who don\u2019t vote for their state\u2019s winner, the so-called \u201cfaithless electors,\u201d have made news in past elections but never altered the results of a state\u2019s vote. In 2016, five Democratic electors failed to vote for Hillary Clinton, and two electors defected from Donald Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the electors (and, effectively, the state\u2019s election results) are counted and the vote certified, the results go to Congress. That\u2019s where Kamala Harris, in her position as president of the Senate, will read out each state\u2019s results before Congress certifies the vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That will take place on a date seared into American history thanks to the events of four years ago: January 6.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
