Joe Biden Transition: Live Updates

Despite moves by Republicans to subvert the results of the presidential election, Michigan is set to consider certifying its vote count on Monday, and individual counties in Pennsylvania are scheduled to do the same.

The certifications, which would come amid a string of legal losses for the Trump campaign, would all but ensure the futility of President Trump’s challenges to the election results. President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s electoral vote count — 306 to Mr. Trump’s 232 — mirrors the total by which the president defeated Hillary Clinton in 2016.

The electors will meet in their respective states and the District of Columbia to formally cast their votes on Dec. 14.

Georgia on Friday became the first contested state to certify Mr. Biden’s victory, after a hand recount of the results, technically an audit, confirmed Mr. Trump’s defeat by more than 12,000 votes. It was the first time a Democratic presidential candidate had won the state since 1992.

A federal judge dismissed a Trump campaign challenge to Pennsylvania’s results on Saturday, eliminating the last major effort to delay certification there. The campaign and the case’s other plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal on Sunday.

Other key states, including Michigan and Nevada, also have to certify their results. The Board of State Canvassers in Michigan is scheduled to meet on Monday to consider the certification of results that have already been certified by county canvassing boards. The state board is made up of two Republicans and two Democrats.

Mr. Trump invited Michigan Republican leaders to the White House last week, as members of the party sought to stop the certification process. After the meeting, the state’s top two Republican lawmakers — Mike Shirkey, the leader of the State Senate, and Lee Chatfield, the speaker of the State House — said they had not “been made aware of any information that would change the outcome of the election.”

The leaders of the Republican National Committee and the Michigan Republican Party have asked the Michigan board to delay the state’s certification for two weeks.

Mr. Shirkey and Mr. Chatfield said in a statement that they “will follow the law and follow the normal process regarding Michigan’s electors.”

Even without Michigan’s electoral votes, Mr. Biden would surpass the 270-count threshold to win.

The work of the Michigan Board of State Canvassers is not glamorous and rarely draws much attention. Its members handle matters like reviewing petition signatures and helping local clerks find voting machines. But on Monday, the national spotlight will fall on the board’s task of reviewing results from the presidential election that have been certified by Michigan’s 83 counties and giving a stamp of approval.
