California certified its presidential election on Friday, paving the way for Gov. Gavin Newsom to prepare a Certificate of Ascertainment to appoint the state’s 55 electors to cast their votes for Democrat Joe Biden.
Secretary of State Alex Padilla approved the results, according to his office, with the Electoral College scheduled to meet on Dec. 14 to cast their votes. Three more states projected to have been won by Biden—Colorado, Hawaii, and New Jersey—have not yet certified their results.
