Certification of results in Arizona does not necessarily mean the end of legal action, as this state allows results to be contested even after they have been validated.
Mr. Trump's campaign team has in fact tried - without success so far - to hamper the process of certification of results in key states won by Mr. Biden with legal remedies.
Among these, the last to have not yet officially validated its results is Wisconsin, whose certification was also expected on Monday.
