What the evidence shows
Biden received 306 electoral votes to Trump’s 232, and the states certified Biden’s victory. The Trump administration’s DOJ and DHS found no evidence that foreign actors manipulated results; litigation alleging a stolen result did not establish outcome-changing fraud. See the DOJ-DHS joint statement and the Campaign Legal Center’s case inventory.
False. The certified result was a Biden victory; the asserted Trump victory is contradicted by the official count and the evidentiary record.
