Is today the day that all states certify their election results?

Is it required by law that all must certify today? Or is it a guideline?

Anyone know?

5. Thank You!

After reading that article, to me it sounds like a law that requires certification by today. Just my interpretation.

Thanks again for posting.

6. My favorite line from that article:

"The process is continuing but what's been clear for a month, is still clear: Joe Biden will be the next president."

And you're very welcome.
