Trump Continues Campaign to Overturn Election Results
-----------------------------------------------------

President-elect Joe Biden's lead in the popular vote over Donald Trump
has now topped 5 million and continues to grow. No evidence has emerged
to back up Trump's claim of widespread voter fraud, but on Wednesday
Georgia's secretary of state ordered a hand recount for the presidential
race. The Wall Street Journal reports the Trump campaign is increasingly
looking into ways to prevent key states from certifying election
results, with the hope that Republican-led legislatures would then
appoint pro-Trump electors to the Electoral College.

Trump's refusal to concede the race may also be helping his campaign
financially. Half of all money collected for the campaign's legal
challenges is quietly being reallocated to pay off campaign debt.

On Wednesday, Trump made his first public appearance since the race was
called for Joe Biden. He placed a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown
Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery to mark Veterans Day but made no
remarks.
