Michigan election law requires them to vote for Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris. An elector s refusal to do so constitutes a resignation, and the other electors would vote to fill the vacancy.
The results are sent to Vice President Mike Pence (as the head of the U.S. Senate) and the Archivist of the United States. On Jan. 6, the U.S. House and Senate will hold a joint session to review and accept the results of the Electoral College votes.
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist II, Chief Justice Bridget Mary McCormack, State Representative Joe Tate, Michigan Democratic Party Chairwoman Lavora Barnes and a few staffers will also be in attendance, but no one else is allowed in the chambers per COVID-19 and safety precautions.
