You do realize that this refers to the meeting of the Electoral College and not to the popular vote?

Some FReeper will know specifically, but I believe federal election days are determined by federal law.

States set the elections but Congress can overrule them. Article I, Section. 4.

No, it refers to both the day when the EC votes and to the general election when the electors are selected. Congress sets the dates for both.
