Politics Roundup: Electoral College Voting Underway, The Latest SCOTUS Rejections And More

The Electoral College is set to confirm Joe Biden’s victory Monday. 

Electors have already cast votes in several states, and Biden is expected to take the lead once California’s 55 electors vote. The votes come after the Supreme Court rejected a Texas effort which would have invalidated election results in four states, including Pennsylvania and Georgia. Threats of violence led Michigan officials to close the state capitol ahead of electoral voting.
