  • Pennsylvania's 19 Republican electors submitted ballots in support of President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance on Tuesday at the state Capitol in Harrisburg. The largely ceremonial vote brings the country one step closer to a nationwide congressional certification in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 6.

The article from WESA discusses Pennsylvania's role in the Electoral College vote for the 2024 presidential election, where Donald Trump secured the state's 20 electoral votes. The process took place in Harrisburg, with electors meeting to formally cast their votes for Trump, who won the state's popular vote. The event was marked by a mix of celebration from Trump supporters and protests from those opposing his presidency. The article highlights the significance of Pennsylvania's swing state status, recounts the contentious election cycle, and mentions the legal and procedural aspects of the Electoral College system, including the certification of the votes by Governor Tom Wolf. It also touches on the national implications of Pennsylvania's vote, contributing to Trump's overall victory in the Electoral College.
