(130,862 posts)The Electoral College begins the vote that will formally designate Biden the president-elect.
'The Electoral College vote started on Monday morning in states across the country, in a move that will officially designate Joseph R. Biden Jr. as the president-elect and pass a crucial milestone that President Trump has sought to upend with legal challenges and political pressure to overturn the results of a popular election.
Its not just out of tradition but to show folks, especially now more than ever, our system works, said Gov. Chris Sununu of New Hampshire, a Republican, in opening remarks before the states four electors cast their ballots for Mr. Biden.
And in Vermont, the states electors gathered for a basic rite of democracy normally invisible to the public. But this year, because of Mr. Trumps ongoing campaign to subvert the election, the session was carried live by national news outlets. The states three electors, dressed casually, gathered in an empty, ornate statehouse chamber and signed their names to votes for Mr. Biden on six certificates.'>>>

Now we have people holding on to the edges of their seats.
Trump has done that much damage to the confidence in our electoral processes...
