Topic: Electoral College Timeline (Educational)

[Thundering In MD]

In the newsletter from my PAC, they included an Electoral College Timeline, which I thought others may be interested in:

December 8, 2020:  Deadline for States to resolve election disputes

December 14, 2020:  Electors meet and cast votes for President and Vice President

December 23, 2020:  Deadline for all electors' ballots to be e-transmitted to the President of the Senate

January 6, 2021: Congress meets in Joint Session to count votes

January 21, 2021:  Inauguration

Im betting it wont go that smoothly. The courts will be very busy this election.

It's interesting that the new Congress will count the votes, not the current.

You are correct.  New Congress is sworn in and convened on January 3rd.
