State and federal election officials have repeatedly said there is no such evidence. At a White House holiday reception on Tuesday night, Trump appeared to acknowledge that those efforts could fail, and in that case he would run again. On Wednesday, Georgia's Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said Biden was headed for victory after the state's second recount, and sharply criticised Trump for fomenting false claims. "This is exactly the kind of language that is at the base of a growing threat environment for election workers who are simply doing their jobs." On Wednesday, Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris will receive national security briefings from government officials, after a delay of several weeks.
