By Bryan MelerAssociate Editor,

Joe Biden has secured 270 electoral votes in the 2020 U.S. Election, defeating Donald Trump to become the next American president, according to the Associated Press.

The victory comes with Biden projected to secure Pennsylvania�s electoral votes, pushing him to a total of 284, compared to Trump�s 214.

Polls originally closed Nov. 3, but due to a historic voting turnout and an increase in mail-in ballots amid the COVID-19 pandemic, a projected winner was finally announced Saturday.

According to the Associated Press, Trump will not concede to Biden, because he will proceed with unspecified legal challenges in an effort to overturn the outcome of the 2020 election.

�Our campaign will start prosecuting our case in court to ensure election laws are fully upheld and the rightful winner is seated,� said Trump in a statement.

Trump continues to allege that there�s been widespread fraud and misconduct throughout the election process, but no evidence has been provided. There�s particularly been an emphasis on scrutinizing mail-in ballots, which have helped Biden secure a lead in key states such as Pennsylvania.

Following the projection on Saturday, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau congratulated Biden and U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris.

Joe Biden has secured 270 electoral votes. False.

Steve Williams Saturday, November 7th 2020 at 1:43PM

Here's the proof. Pennsylvania legislature says our 20 electors are not secure.

It's not sounding like a loser when there is no winner. Biden has not won. He might, but at this time he has not.

How does Biden "HAVE" electoral votes?

Mr. Giuliani said �networks don�t get to decide elections, courts do.�

Nobody has any electoral votes Ron, not until December 14. Your "votes" are nothing but smoke and mirrors.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Saturday, November 7th 2020 at 6:10PM

Was I right to believe the first one to reach 270 electoral votes wins?

Steve Williams Saturday, November 7th 2020 at 8:47PM

No. There is no such thing as "the first one to reach 270 electoral votes."

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Saturday, November 7th 2020 at 9:20PM

Then what is it Steve?

Steve Williams Saturday, November 7th 2020 at 10:38PM

There is the electoral vote. It happens all at once. There is no "reaching."

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Saturday, November 7th 2020 at 11:52PM

That will happen December 8, 2020, that is when Biden will receive those VOTES.

December 14, 2020: Electors Vote in Their States
Monday after the second Wednesday in December of presidential election years is set (3 U.S.C. �7) as the date on which the electors meet and vote. In 2020, the meeting is on December 14. Electoral college delegations meet separately in their respective states and the District of Columbia at places designated by their state legislature. The electors vote by paper ballot, casting one ballot for President and one for Vice President. The electors count the results and then sign six certificates, each of which contains two lists, one of which includes the electoral votes for the President, the other, electoral votes for the Vice President, each of which includes the names of persons receiving votes and the number of votes cast for them. These are known as Certificates of the Vote, which the electors are required to sign. They then pair the six Certificates of Ascertainment provided by the state governors with the Certificates of the Vote, and sign, seal, and certify them (3 U.S.C. ��8-10). The six certificates are then distributed by registered mail as follows: (1) one certificate to the President of the U.S. Senate (the Vice President); (2) two certificates to the secretary of state (or equivalent officer) of the state in which the electors met; (3) two certificates to the Archivist; and (4) one certificate to the judge of the U.S. district court of the district in which the electors met (3 U.S.C. �11).

Don't get drunk now Ron.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Sunday, November 8th 2020 at 11:46AM

I DON'T Drink alcohol, Steve. THANKS I WON'T.

Don't hurt yourself in grief because nothing you said came true about Trump's reelection plans and those plans you was talking about you had.

Steve Williams Sunday, November 8th 2020 at 1:39PM

Don't get drunk on power now Ron. Don't blow your wad just yet.
