BREAKING: Pennsylvania has certified the results of the November election. Joe Biden officially wins the state and its 20 electoral votes.
Of the states President Trump is contesting in court, Georgia, Michigan and Pennsylvania have certified and sent Biden electors to the Electoral College on Dec. 14 -- putting him at 279 electoral votes. Arizona, Nevada and Wisconsin have not yet finished certification.
The president continues to contest the results in all six of those states, but certification of the vote makes an already-uphill climb in the courts much more difficult; federal courts tend to defer to states in how they run their elections.
As for the other states:

-Wisconsin is conducting a partial recount requested by the Trump campaign; will finish by Dec. 1.

-All Arizona counties have certified; state canvass and final certification occurs Monday.

-Nevada Supreme Court begins certifying results today.
NEW: Nevada Supreme Court signs off on the state’s election results. The state’s governor will certify the results shortly, and Joe Biden will officially win the state’s 6 electoral votes — putting him at a minimum of 285 for the Dec. 14 meeting of the Electoral College.

A federal judge in Pennsylvania just dismissed the Trump campaign’s lawsuit with prejudice — meaning it can’t be refiled — and tore into their claims: “This court has been presented with strained legal arguments without merit ... Our people, laws and institutions demand more.” Image
We have a Frankenstein’s Monster reference in this opinion. Image
Here’s the meat of the decision. The Trump campaign asked the court to overturn the election and effectively disenfranchise ~7 million people: “It is not in the power of this court to violate the Constitution.” Image
