It is election after election: Six weeks after the presidential elections on November 3, the electorate of the so-called Electoral College will cast their votes for the future president of the United States today.
In the presidential election on November 3, voters only indirectly voted for presidential candidates. Specifically, they elected a group of voters in each state that had been previously determined by the respective parties. Based on the results of the elections in the states Joe biden 306 voters won, as many as Donald trump in 2016.
The elected incumbent amounts to 232. The Constitution of the United States in no way requires members of the electoral college to vote according to the outcome of elections in their state. Because the electorate is often made up of party loyalists, they almost always vote as expected. In the history of the United States, less than one percent of the electorate withdrew, between 1796 and 2016 it was exactly 180. This has never changed the outcome of a presidential election. Donald Trump recently announced that he would leave the White House if the electoral college votes for Joe Biden.
