Each of the 50 US states brings together the group of Major Voters who will elect the next president of the United States on Monday, with no surprises expected in the nomination of Democrat Joe Biden.
The Electoral College is the group of Senior Voters required by the Constitution of the United States to elect the President and Vice President, after elections that are held every four years, depending on the vote in each state.
In the Nov. 3 election, Democrat Joe Biden got enough votes to secure 306 top voters, up from 270 needed for a majority of 538 votes in the Electoral College, down from 232 for Trump.
However, each Large Voter has the freedom to choose the candidate for whom they will vote at this Monday’s meeting, and may even ignore the indications expressed by the popular vote.
In the 2016 election, for the first time since 1808, several major voters voted against the presidential candidate they were supposed to represent: five Democrats rebelled against presidential candidate Hillary Clinton (in the states of Washington and Hawaii) and two Republicans rebelled against The Republican candidate Donald Trump (in Texas).
Analysts say that this year, the two parties have taken extra care in choosing their electoral college delegates, with many unexpected dissenters, despite the Republican vote contest in several states.
Donald Trump even tried to pressure all 16 delegates from Michigan, where Joe Biden won by more than 154,000 votes, but to no apparent success.
The outgoing president invited Michigan state congressional leaders to meet him in Washington in late November in an attempt to convince them not to validate the results of the vote.
In early December, Trump made another attempt in Michigan, this time to have the state congress elect 16 Electoral College delegates to vote for him on Monday, despite the electoral defeat in that state.
According to reports from lawmakers, Trump personally called several Michigan state congressmen, claiming that in the face of “voter fraud,” the Electoral College delegates should not be representatives of Joe Biden.
