Electoral College Meetings to Officially Choose US President

The results will be sent to Washington and presented at a joint session of Congress on January 6th, which the current vice president, Mike Pence, will head.

According to the US Constitution, the president must be elected with the majority of Electoral College votes. If no one wins the majority, then the case goes to the House of Representatives, which decides for the new president.

Biden won more than 7 million in contrast to the current president, Donald Trump. However, popular voting plays no role.

In US history, five presidents have been elected, though their opponent had won more popular votes. Donald Trump was chosen this way too in 2016.

This year's election votes have attracted more attention because the president, Donald Trump, has refused to accept the election results and still continues to make baseless accusations of fraud.

Biden is planning to address the nation later on December 14th after the Electoral College has voted.

After numerous legal challenges were rejected by judges in several states, Trump and republican allies last week tried to convince the Supreme Court to set aside 62 electoral votes for Beden in four states, which could have questioned the outcome.

Judges rejected the effort on December 11th, but Trump is continuing to make groundless claims that he won the elections.

I worry about the country having an illegal president, that's what I'm worried about. A president who lost and badly lost”, Trump said in an interview at Fox News on December 12th.

Beden won 306 electoral votes, while Trump 232. It takes 270 votes to elect president.

The vote takes place through voting sheets. Members of the Elexorial College cast one vote on the president and vice president.
