  • Mississippi's six electors cast their ballots Tuesday for President-elect and Vice President-elect Donald Trump and J.D. Vance. How were electors chosen?

The article from MSN discusses the process and individuals involved in casting Mississippi's electoral votes for the 2024 presidential election. It highlights that former Governor Haley Barbour, along with other prominent Republicans, were chosen as electors. These electors are selected by the state's political parties, typically at their state conventions or by party leaders. The selection process involves party insiders and is often based on loyalty, service to the party, and sometimes as a reward for political support. The article explains that these electors will meet in their respective state capitals on December 17, 2024, to formally cast their votes for president and vice president, which are then sent to Congress for the official count. This system underscores the indirect method by which the U.S. elects its president, emphasizing the role of the Electoral College in the democratic process.
