ALBANY – Eight words in state law could force the Clintons, Gov. Andrew Cuomo and other members of New York s Democratic political elite to gather indoors in the middle of a global pandemic.
Each state s Electoral College delegation will meet Monday to formally elect Joe Biden and Kamala Harris the nation s next president and vice president, fulfilling a constitutional duty even as incumbent Donald Trump continues his long-shot bid to overturn the election in court.
The meetings come as COVID-19 infections continue to rise at a rapid rate across the state and country, leading New York at one point to explore whether it could allow its 29 electors to vote remotely for safety s sake.
