Nevada's five Electoral College members will certify President Bush's re-election on Monday amid continuing controversy over the Nov. 2 elections -- including a lawsuit questioning Bush's victory in this state.
The voting by the Republican electors -- Joe Brown and Milton Schwartz of Las Vegas, John Marvel of Battle Mountain, Bev Willard of Carson City and Paul Willis of Pahrump -- will coincide with balloting by presidential electors across the country.
There's no constitutional provision or federal law requiring electors to vote in line with the popular vote in their state. But a state law requires electors to follow the popular vote. Bush defeated John Kerry in Nevada by 21,500 votes, 418,690 to 397,190.
