Six weeks after the presidential election, results for at least six states remain in question, due to election irregularities such as manipulated voting machines, USPS backdating of mailed ballots, or lack of verification by poll watchers during the certification and counting of mailed ballots. Those states and their Electoral College votes: PA(20), MI(16), WI(10), GA(16), NV(6), AZ(11). Court challenges and recounts in some cases are pending.

Va. Constitutional Amendment -- Q1: Redistricting Commission
