Georgia electors choose Biden amid alternate vote
(14 Dec 2020) Security was high outside the Georgia state capitol where 16 Electoral College votes were cast for Democrat Joe Biden for president.
The state's Democratic electors, including former candidate for governor Stacey Abrams, met in the state Senate chamber on Monday.
The vote formally seals Biden's win in Georgia, the battleground state where he beat President Donald Trump by about 12,000 votes.
The Republicans chosen to be electors if Trump won met in a committee room downstairs and cast their votes for Trump.
Their votes are not official, but by choosing an alternate slate, Georgia Republicans believe they would be able to have those votes counted for Trump in the unlikely scenario that a court rules in Trump's favor in an election contest or if Congress chooses to accept the Republican electors.
