According to the assessment, the Electoral College vote is just a procedural step to recognize the victory of President-elect Donald Trump.

Wall Street JournalAccording to the plan, on December 19 (US time), 538 members of the Electoral College will vote to elect the 45th President of the United States.

According to observers, this vote is just a formality to legitimize the victory of President-elect Donald Trump, despite efforts by opposition groups to persuade members of the Electoral College to change their decision to support Mr. Trump.

According to US election rules, the candidate who wins at least 270 electoral votes will be the winner of the US presidential election.

In the US election on November 8, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton defeated Mr. Trump with nearly 2.9 million popular votes. However, Republican candidate Donald Trump won 306 electoral votes, far exceeding the 270 majority needed, while Mrs. Hillary Clinton only won 232 votes.

Although liberal groups have called on electors who voted for Mr. Trump to switch to Mrs. Clinton or another candidate or even no one at all, Republicans say that only one elector has indicated an intention to change his choice, which certainly cannot affect the previous election result.

On December 15, the news agencyAPreleased the results of a poll of 330 electors from both parties that showed little evidence of a “rebellion.”

“We’re hopeful that everything will go in the right direction. It will go very smoothly on December 19,” Reince Priebus, Trump’s White House chief of staff, told reporters.Fox NewsDecember 18

After the Electoral College members vote on December 19, on January 6, 2017, the US Congress will officially count the votes and announce the final winner. The new US President will be inaugurated on January 20, 2017.
