I’m considering composing a short-text based on my “glue that holds the Republic together” statement. Input is appreciated.
My first question is (and I truly am perplexed on this):
Do the electors ONLY confirm the POTUS race or do they not also, confirm the federal HoR and Senate race votes?
> Do the electors ONLY confirm the POTUS race or do they not also, confirm the federal HoR and Senate race votes?
I’m no expert on this topic, but from what I’ve seen so far, electing the President and Vice President is their task. Also they don’t meet together and make a decision as a body. “The Electoral College never actually meets as one body. Electors meet in their respective state capitals (electors for the District of Columbia meet within the District) on the Monday after the second Wednesday in December, at which time they cast their electoral votes on separate ballots for president and vice president.”
“...Before 1950, the Secretary of State’s office oversaw the certifications, but since then the Office of Federal Register in the Archivist’s office reviews them to make sure the documents sent to the archive and Congress match and that all formalities have been followed, sometimes requiring states to correct the documents.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_College_(United_States)
