US elections and the president, as reported, sentence 14

It was reported that recounts, audits (careful checks) and dozens of court cases did not find fraud, meaning cheating, big enough to change the 2020 result, and Congress certified it, which means officially confirmed it; some people say they still have doubts and want stricter rules such as more ID checks.

Who acts: recounts, Congress, people · What happens: report, not find, mean, change, certify, confirm · To what, where: cheating, fraud, 2020 result, doubts, stricter rules · Speech: someone speaks here
