So, I was reading the BBC website today—it’s interesting to get outside perspectives on the American elections—and I came across a sort of “what happens next” sidebar.
15 Dec: Electoral college electors meet in each state to formally cast their votes
6 Jan: Joint session of Congress to count electoral college votes
My question: on December 15th, could members of the electoral college cast votes against their state’s popular vote? What happens in that situation?
