Katy Feinberg [email protected]
This presidential election has been decided and it is time for the count y to move fo ward. President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Ha is have won the Electoral College and the cou ts have rejected challenges to the electoral process. Congress should ce tify the electoral vote on Wednesday, Janua y 6. Attempts to thwa t or delay this process un counter to the essential tenets of our democracy.
The incoming Biden administration faces the urgent tasks of defeating COVID 19 and resto ing the livelihoods of millions of Ame icans who have lost jobs and businesses du ing the pandemic. Our duly elected leaders dese ve the respect and bipa tisan suppo t of all Ame icans at a moment when we are dealing with the worst health and economic c ises in mode n histo y. There should be no fu ther delay in the orderly transfer of power.
