It’s up to the American people to stop it.

According to official results, Biden collected 306 electoral votes as opposed to 232 votes cast for the incumbent Trump. Sputnik further reported that Trump has refused to concede, alleging voter fraud, despite his campaign losing nearly all of some 60 legal challenges filed within the past month. The US Congress will meet in a joint session on January 6 to confirm the Electoral College votes, with Vice President Mike Pence presiding over the session to count the votes from each state. Biden’s inauguration is scheduled to take place on January 20. Source: Agecnies
