States Cast Electoral Votes for 2024 Election

Indiana and Illinois have formally cast their electoral votes in their respective ceremonies, with Indiana awarding its 11 votes to Donald Trump and JD Vance, while Illinois allocated its 19 votes to Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, the Democratic candidates. Indiana Secretary of State Diego Morales emphasized the importance of transparency and integrity in the electoral process, while Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias corrected an initial misstatement about the vote count. Colorado also cast its 10 electoral votes for Harris and Walz, marking a historic turnout of nearly 80% of active voters despite being the lowest in over a decade. Colorado's Secretary of State Jena Griswold noted the state's commitment to the National Popular Vote Compact, which could influence future electoral outcomes. All states' votes will be certified by Congress on January 6, paving the way for Trump's potential second inauguration on January 20, 2025.
