Supporters of President-elect Joe Biden hope the milestone will end President Trump's false allegations of widespread fraud and unsuccessful attempts to overturn the results — but that is unlikely.

Faithless electors are those in the Electoral College who cast their votes in conflict with their state's voters. After a Supreme Court decision, that practice may soon be a thing of the past.

The Supreme Court rejected a Texas lawsuit challenging the election results in fours swing states. It was a long-shot attempt by President Trump's allies to overturn President-elect Biden's victory.

Dec. 8 is known as the "safe harbor" deadline for states to certify their results. Past the deadline, Congress has significantly less latitude to intervene in the election results.

"History will not be kind to those who are cognizant of the truth and yet choose silence for political expediency," said a Florida county GOP elections supervisor.

The post-election period this year saw extraordinary pressure from President Trump on local Republican election officials — further polarizing voting in the U.S.

Christopher Krebs, who led the federal government's efforts to secure the 2020 election, called the operation near seamless despite President Trump's claims to the contrary.

Voting experts say it's not easy to remove options once they've been given to voters. But the fraught politics around alleged "fraud" complicate the outlook for coming elections.

An increase in access to voting-by-mail led to historic turnout in this year's election. But with Republicans claiming fraud, NPR discusses how many of those changes may stick around long term.

In a couple of tweets, President Trump announced that he has fired Christopher Krebs, head of the agency in the Department of Homeland Security that oversees election security.

Led by one of President Trump's nominees, the agency has been actively trying to correct misinformation spread by all sorts of actors, including Trump, about the election.

President Trump's lawsuits seeking to challenge the election results in key states haven't gained much traction. We'll explain why.

President Trump and his GOP allies are making a series of false claims about how last week's election went. NPR reporters discuss why those claims are false and the larger strategy behind making them.

"The claims are baseless, and at this point folks are grasping at straws," said one secretary of state, of the Trump campaign's legal strategy.

Years of the president talking about unsubstantiated election fraud has made many Republicans believe that vote tallies cannot be trusted. What will it take to make them think otherwise?

Despite President Trump's claims of fraud, this election had a historic turnout in the middle of a pandemic.

President Trump's campaign plans to challenge vote counts in four battleground states that continued tallying ballots this week. The president wants the Supreme Court to intervene in the election.

Election officials across the U.S. continued counting votes Friday. The practice of counting ballots after Election Day is not unusual, but President Trump has raised doubts about it.

Lawsuits filed across the country are the result of a campaign legal team working to "bend reality" to fit Trump's false claims, says one expert.

President Trump addressed the nation on Thursday, as his path to the presidency narrowed. He made false claims about stolen votes and touted wins in states like Ohio and Florida.
