Today marks another significant Election Day in America as the Electoral College convenes in all 50 states and the District of Columbia to cast their votes for the next president of the United States. This process, while ceremonial, plays a crucial role in determining the outcome of the presidential election.
Unlike the election six weeks ago, where millions of Americans voted for President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, the 538 electors participating in today's proceedings are bound by the results of the November 5 election. Trump secured 312 electoral votes, surpassing the 270 needed for victory, and also won the popular vote.
