Arizona’s most populous county saw its board of supervisors vote on Friday to certify the results of the Nov. 3 general election, after weeks of vote counting and legal challenges that have all since been dismissed.

The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors—four Republicans and one Democrat—unanimously voted to approve the election results in the state, which shows Biden ahead by more than 45,000 votes. As of Friday, Biden is ahead of Trump in Arizona state by more than 10,000 votes. Trump won the state in 2016 by 3.5 percentage points.
