WASHINGTON, D.C. – Tomorrow, the Joint Session of Congress opens starting at 1 p.m. in the U.S. Capitol to count the votes from the states’ electors that were submitted on December 14 when the Electoral College voted.
In prior sessions, vice presidents opened up certificates reflecting the electoral vote tallies that were sent by states before handing them to “tellers,” who are individuals appointed by both chambers of Congress to read out the ballots and verify. The tellers then read the ballots in alphabetical order, starting with Alabama. A challenge to a state’s electoral votes must be submitted in writing and requires a senator and a representative according to the Electoral Count Act of 1887.
