Monday Reads: Electoral College Day

 In case you care, this is how the Electoral College works in terms of casting votes.  Today is the day the fifty states' electors meet.

Edit: All the "swing" state electors have voted with no "faithless" electors to be found.  The last states to vote are Oregon, California, and Hawaii, and of course all of them were Biden states.

Edit 2:  Biden has officially reached and exceeded 270 EC votes.
