This presidential election has been decided and it is time for the county to move foward. President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Hais have won the Electoral College and the couts have rejected challenges to the electoral process. Congress should cetify the electoral vote on Wednesday, Januay 6. Attempts to thwat or delay this process un counter to the essential tenets of our democracy.

The incoming Biden administration faces the urgent tasks of defeating COVID19 and restoing the livelihoods of millions of Ameicans who have lost jobs and businesses duing the pandemic. Our duly elected leaders deseve the respect and bipatisan suppot of all Ameicans at a moment when we are dealing with the worst health and economic cises in moden histoy. There should be no futher delay in the orderly transfer of power.
