what happens in the period between the election and the election day?
After all valid votes are included in the final results, a process known as the Electoral Collage certifies the election results.
Each state has a different number of Electoral College votes that candidates are trying to win.
In addition to being supported by the voters themselves, the Electoral Collage also guarantees the victory of the winning candidate.
Generally, the states give all the Electoral College votes to the candidate who received the majority of the popular vote, and this is confirmed at the next December 17 meeting.
After that, the newly elected Congress meets on January 6 to count the Electoral College votes and thus confirm which candidate won the election.
On January 6, 2021, the same process was going on in the US Congress building, and Donald Trump's supporters attacked and tried to stop this process.
Before that, Trump said that he was cheated in the election and did not accept Biden's victory.
