President-elect Joe Biden and Democrats in Congress have called Trump’s insistence that the election was rigged the “big lie.” The term has roots in Nazi Germany and echoes throughout fascist states.

The Associated Press talked with Americans of all political stripes and asked them to assess this astonishing moment in their country’s history.

The votes came after Congress reconvened hours after violent insurrectionists stormed the Capitol, forcing party leadership to evacuate the scene while rioters overtook the complex.

In a statement released just after the certification was finalized, Trump at long last acknowledged his election loss. He said that even though he disagrees with the outcome, “there will be an orderly transition on January 20th.”
