Wyoming officially cast its three electoral college votes for President-elect Donald Trump.
At a ceremony at the state Capitol on Dec. 17, electors Martha Halverson, Brent Bien and Brian Miller followed the state’s popular vote, as required by state law.
“As we canvass the results, there are three votes for Donald J. Trump for president of the United States and three votes for J.D. Vance for vice president of the United States,” said Secretary of State Chuck Gray.
The three electors were chosen by the state Republican Party at their convention earlier this year, according to reporting by the Sheridan Press.
The number of electoral college votes a state has corresponds to its representation in Washington, DC. Wyoming has two U.S. Senators and one Congress member, hence three electoral college votes.
The certified votes now head to Washington, DC. A joint session of Congress will count and certify the results on Jan. 6.
