EXCERPT:
BIDEN: “Today, members of the Electoral College representing the certified winner cast their votes for president and vice president of the United States in an act just as old as our nation itself. Once again, in America, the rule of law, our Constitution and the will of the people prevailed. Our democracy, pushed, tested, threatened, proved to be resilient, true and strong. The Electoral College votes which occurred today effect the fact that even in the face of a public health crisis, unlike anything we have experienced in our lifetimes, the people voted. They voted in record numbers. More Americans voted this year than have ever voted in the history of the United States of America. Over 155 million Americans were determined to have their voices heard and their votes counted.”
