The electoral college convened in all 50 states Tuesday to elect Donald Trump to be the 47th president of the United States over Vice President Kamala Harris by a vote of 312 to 226.

Next, electors must transmit certificates of their votes to Washington for the final step in determining the outcome of the election: the joint session of Congress on Jan. 6.

States and the federal government alike spent months planning for heightened security around the convening of the electors and the joint session, given the protests surrounding Biden’s victory four years ago in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

Several states reported this week that some of the preparations have proved unnecessary with Trump’s win, which Harris did not contest.
