December 12, 2017 at 6:50 pm ESTBy Taegan Goddard
CNN: The earliest the state could certify a winner would be December 26, but the secretary of states office does not expect the canvassing board to be able to do so until January 3, and it could be even later, delayed by slow canvassing by the counties and jam-packed holiday schedules between Christmas and New Years Day. Once it does, that certification would be sent to Washington immediately. Once the winner is certified, the Senate would likely in swear that person quickly.
