They are about to cast the votes that matter most when electing U.S. presidents. Meet the members of the nation’s 59th Electoral College, which assembles Monday.

By John McCormick Close John McCormick Dec. 13, 2020 9:00 am ET A few famous names are among the 538 Americans about to cast the votes that matter most when electing U.S. presidents. But many are people like Mary Arnold, a retired social worker and a first-time member of the Electoral College.

Mr. Biden won the national popular vote by more than seven million ballots, according to the Associated Press. But the number that counts is his electoral vote total, 306, to President Trump’s 232. In Vermont, electors will convene at 10 a.m., while those in Hawaii won’t assemble until nine hours later.

The electoral vote won’t be official until Jan. 6, when Mr. Pence is expected to open correspondence from each state during a joint session of Congress and have the totals read aloud. Once a candidate reaches 270 electoral votes, he or she will be declared the winner. In addition to Ms. Arnold, the nine other Democratic electors are the state party secretary, a state representative, a state senator, the president of the Wisconsin Education Association Council, a member of the Democratic National Committee, the president of a tribal council, the lieutenant governor, the governor and the state party chairman.

Joseph Epstein loves the elecoral college. fireepstein

If a democracy’s electoral system threatens democracy, then the system is broken and must be changed. Democracy can’t be a belief. It must be a truth!

Dr. Jill Biden Apologize

What does Rupert Murdoch think?

It should be abolished.

Great. Go ahead and propose a constitutional amendment. Good luck.

The country needs to go to the popular vote. Everybody's vote should count the same and then the candidates would consider all the states important in the election.

It should absolutely be abolished. If we're not picking our leaders based on what people actually want, what the hell are we even doing?

No there is a good reason for it, don’t start this shit you already rigged an election.

It is a normal process as in past. They usually rubber stamp proof of election outcome. What has happened is that Americans have decided to come out of the grip and autocratic governance. GOP as party is unified only in fear and not in the hope! It is a shameful status for GOP.

And then on Tuesday look for another RANT and RAVE from Trump about the 'election,' aided and abetted by the Republicans in Congress who are still enslaved to Trump!!!

It's okay, it's okay, President Biden knows how to do the job of the President and will actually fill his administration with patriots who serve the American people. And, Biden does not NEED to be worshipped, HE IS RESPECTED!
