The broadcast will include electoral sessions in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Georgia, where incumbent President Donald Trump is trying to challenge the vote
The vote of the US electoral college, which is set to decide the name of the country’s next president on Monday, will be broadcast online. The New York Times reports that the U.S. state and the District of Columbia will provide voters with an opportunity to observe the process in real time.
According to the newspaper, the broadcast will include meetings of the electors in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Georgia, where the incumbent Republican President Donald Trump is still unsuccessfully trying to challenge the voting results.
According to the results of the US general election on 3 November, Democrat Joseph Biden won the support of 306 electoral college members out of 538, more than enough to win. On Monday, the electors will gather in their state capitals and the District of Columbia to vote in accordance with the will of the voters. According to The New York Times, the meetings will start at about 10 a.m. EST (6 p.m. Moscow time) and not until the afternoon (after midnight in Moscow) in California, where 55 electors are expected to vote for Biden and where his final success could be recorded.
Usually the electors gather in the buildings of the state legislative assemblies, which, like the Congress building in Washington, are traditionally called Capitols. However, as The New York Times reported, in Delaware they will meet at a local sports complex, and “Nevada has become the only state where such an event will take place in a virtual format”.
