Watching CNN to see what's going on there - it's locked down on account of threats of violence. When CA votes at 5:00 EST it will be all over.

The Electoral College begins the vote that will formally designate Biden the president-elect.

'The Electoral College vote started on Monday morning in states across the country, in a move that will officially designate Joseph R. Biden Jr. as the president-elect and pass a crucial milestone that President Trump has sought to upend with legal challenges and political pressure to overturn the results of a popular election.

“It’s not just out of tradition but to show folks, especially now more than ever, our system works,” said Gov. Chris Sununu of New Hampshire, a Republican, in opening remarks before the state’s four electors cast their ballots for Mr. Biden.

And in Vermont, the state’s electors gathered for a basic rite of democracy normally invisible to the public. But this year, because of Mr. Trump’s ongoing campaign to subvert the election, the session was carried live by national news outlets. The state’s three electors, dressed casually, gathered in an empty, ornate statehouse chamber and signed their names to votes for Mr. Biden on six certificates.'>>>

In elections past, someone would mention that the EC was meeting to cast their votes, and the reaction would be: ""......so anyway, I was..."

Now we have people holding on to the edges of their seats.

Trump has done that much damage to the confidence in our electoral processes...
