Here's a dumb question

(I know, I know, AGAIN?!?!?)


The Electorial college -- when they offically vote for the President
where is it done? Who exactly are the electors? Is this covered by the media?


If you can actually believe this it never really was covered in my classes. just like the Articles of Confederation were bushed over...

1. The Electoral College

They meet on the Monday following the second Wednesday of December. This year, that's December 13.

On that date, they cast their votes for President and Vice-President as dictated by the votes in their home districts and states.

Those votes are sealed and not opened until January 6, 2005, when the President of the Senate who opens them and reads them before both houses of Congress.

Got it?

I'm not surprised it wasn't covered. But, it's great that you're curious.

Go to your state capitol on the appointed day and see them in action. The electors from each state meet at their own capitol.
