Missouri Presidential Electors Formally Cast Votes for Trump

Missouri’s presidential electors have cast all 10 of the state’s votes for Republican President Donald Trump.

The Electoral College members met Monday at the state Capitol for a brief ceremony to formally write their votes on paper ballots. Though Democrat Joe Biden won nationally, Trump easily carried Missouri with nearly 57% of the vote in the Nov. 3 presidential election.

Missouri’s electors were chosen earlier this year by a vote of Republican Party members.
