After the nov-2024 election Donald Trump won against Kamala Harris starting a complex transition process. State officials must send certified elector lists by dec-11 (following rules from the two-year-old federal law thats meant to avoid past certification problems)
The Electoral College process has strict time-frames: electors gather in their home-states on dec-17; votes need to reach the Senate president – who is currently Harris – by dec-25. The system now includes extra-strict rules for challenging results: one-fifth of both chambers must agree to question any states outcome
We cannot allow what happened last time
On jan-6 Harris will lead the joint Congress meeting to count votes and declare the winner – a process thats different from 2021 when protestors tried to stop the count. The final step comes on jan-20: Trump and his vice president-elect JD Vance take their oaths at noon (eastern time)
