[Asia Economy New York=Correspondent Baek Jong-min] On the 14th (local time), no surprises occurred in the presidential electoral college voting held across the United States. In battleground states where President Donald Trump refused to concede the election results, President-elect Joe Biden won as scheduled.

According to the Associated Press, the electoral college votes from six states?Wisconsin (10 electors), Georgia (16), Pennsylvania (20), Arizona (11), Nevada (6), and Michigan (16)?all went to President-elect Biden.

Contrary to President Trump's hopes, no surprises occurred in the electoral college vote following the election contest lawsuits.

In the U.S. presidential election, electors allocated by each state are selected, and these electors vote to choose the president. Once the electoral college voting in the Western states concludes following the Eastern and Central states, this election will be finalized, and President-elect Biden's victory will be confirmed.

According to the certified results of each state's presidential vote count, President-elect Biden secured 306 electors, exceeding the majority of 270 needed to win. President Trump secured only 232 electors.

The results of the electoral college votes conducted by each state must be delivered to the federal Congress in Washington D.C. by the 23rd. Additionally, on the 6th of next month, a joint session of the House and Senate will be held to certify the state-by-state vote counts and announce the next president-elect.

On the day, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany avoided a direct answer when asked whether President Trump would concede the electoral college vote results, giving an evasive response.
