New York’s 29 electors cast their ballots Monday in Albany to formally elect Joe Biden as president of the United States and Kamal Harris as vice president.
Biden defeated President Donald Trump 5,244,006 to 3,251,230 in the Nov. 3 election. Challenges to the results from the defeated president have led to more interest in the Electoral College system this year.
