Washington. Although Democrat candidate Joe Biden may have won on the basis of popular votes, the Electoral College voting will confirm his position as the next President of the United States today. Electoral College has voting on 14 December, after which the official results of the US elections will be announced on 6 January.
According to the law, the meeting of the Electoral College takes place on the first Monday after the second Wednesday of December.

The result of the vote will be sent to Washington and will be counted in the joint session of Parliament on January 6, which will be chaired by Vice President Mike Pence.

Biden’s victory decided
After Electoral College votes, Biden will probably address the nation on Monday night, but Trump has not accepted Biden’s victory. Trump said in an interview to Recorded Fox News on Saturday, “No, I am worried about having an illegal president in the country.” A President who is badly defeated. Biden won 306 votes and Trump won 232 electoral votes. The majority requires 270 votes. Electors usually vote only for the winning candidate in their state, as they are dedicated to their party.

The same elector will vote for the presidential election on December 14 and if it is easy to understand, the voter did not vote for Trump or Biden, but chose his representative and voted him. Now this representative ie Elector will elect the American President. Voters choose electors and a group of electors is called an electoral college. There are a total of 538 electors in an electoral college. To become president, 270 electoral votes or the support of the electors is needed.
