“About a minute away...”
yayyyy
Four new electors now being sworn in by the chief justice
They all appear to be women, but I don’t want to assume gender. :)
Just now voting for chairman!
I think there will be 38 nominations.
Started out with his life history since he was 12.
First time I can remember when everyone held their breath for an Electoral College vote in December after the Presidential vote in November.
4 for chairman This may last past dinner..LOL
Once upon a time in a place far, far away (Los Angeles) the last name in the Phone Book was:
Ricardo Zzyzz
You don’t remember 2000 when they tried to get Bush electors to switch? Bush only got 271 in that election. 2 defectors would have sent it to the House (where Bush would have won).
I am not holding my breath...but I do want it OVER!
(Then the media can move on to Russia won the election for Trump
Groan)
We can’t get a chairman elected yet!
Tie vote on chair. Trying it again after dropping the third place vote.
Madam Noble is now chairwoman
Now nominating a secretary
Not that it matters, but with 4 electors not going for Hillary in Washington, Trump would win at least 268 to 266 if every Texas elector went insane and voted for Hillary (though it would still go to the House).
Imagine an alternate world where Hillary had won Texas, all the other votes were the same, and because 4 electors in Washington voted for someone else it went to the House who elected Trump. :-)

One nominee, nominations are closed. Voting for Marion Knowlten (sp) for secretary.
Done by acclamation.
Ballots being distributed for president. (Secret Ballot)
KSAT television zoomed in on Suprun casting his vote. He was writing on it, rather than marking an “X” as one would probably normally do. He said he planned to write in Kasich.
Ballots being collected in a box
