I see Michigan have now completed certification that Biden won...

"President-elect Joe Biden's victory in the US state of Michigan has been officially certified, in a serious blow to Donald Trump's beleaguered attempts to challenge the result.

One of two Republicans on the Michigan State Board of Canvassers joined the two Democrats to approve finalising the result. The other Republican abstained."

While he still hasn't conceded he has now authorised officials to start the transition period, which I presume also means the release of tranition funds to Biden's team.  :-\

Anyway Al won't have to contribute to Biden's crowd funding effort now!  :y                                                               ;D

It ain't over yet :D

The Electors aren't all obliged to agree... If one in each State abstains then Biden doesn't get enough college votes...

The House could 'choose' not to accept the count from the Electoral College...

A single Congressman/woman and a single Senator could make a written complaint rejecting the Electoral College votes... Say Jim Jordan and Ted Cruz. Then the House would vote. If they fail to agree, or choose not to, it goes to the Senate. Both on a one state one vote basis.

Which is why Trump has yet to concede.

Biden would be so disappointed  ::)

I think you're experiencing a bad reaction to the hair spray, orange makeup and some bleach you've been misusing.

Hardly a ringing endorsement...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crank_(person)
Crank is a pejorative term used for a person who holds an unshakable belief that most of their contemporaries consider to be false.[1] A crank belief is so wildly at variance with those commonly held that it is considered ludicrous. Cranks characteristically dismiss all evidence or arguments which contradict their own unconventional beliefs, making any rational debate a futile task and rendering them impervious to facts, evidence, and rational inference.

I never said it was likely ::) but there's precedent for most of those scenarios.

Precedent means that the procedures have been followed before. Has that ever happened?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faithless_elector

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1864_United_States_presidential_election

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contingent_election

The Senate actually only chooses the Vice President.

So, so answer your question, yes, and in the case of Faithless Elector, as recently as 2016.

January 6th unless Trump formally concedes beforehand.

Another nail in the coffin, again from someone he appointed...

https://www.bbc.com/news/election-us-2020-55109168

"In giving the appeal court's opinion, Judge Stephanos Bibas wrote: "Free, fair elections are the lifeblood of our democracy. Charges of unfairness are serious. But calling an election unfair does not make it so."

"Charges require specific allegations and then proof. We have neither here," wrote Judge Bibas, who was nominated by Trump."

Perhaps there are some folks in the USA who have, and understand the meaning of, "integrity"
