President-elect Joe Biden achieved formal victory over President Trump on Monday, winning his 306 votes in the electoral college.
Electors gathered in every state and the District of Columbia for a day-long series of votes that delivered no surprises for either Trump or Biden.
The proceedings harked back to more typical presidential elections and stood in contrast with the unprecedented — though fruitless — six weeks of legal and procedural chaos triggered by Trump’s refusal to accept his loss.
There were signs Monday that some of the president’s most ardent supporters would not abandon his cause, as groups of Republicans in six key battleground states held their own unofficial electoral-college-style votes for Trump.
Though major protests did not materialize, threats of harassment and violence cast a shadow over elector meetings in several states.
