GA electoral College, 2016 election

[edit]

Hi. In 2016, the 16 Republican Electors, from the electoral College of Georgia, all voted for Donald Trump and Mike Pence. But how did the vote consist? How did the voters fill out their ballots? Thank you very much. 2.39.110.85 (talk) 12:31, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The vote totals for each state can be seen at 2016 United States presidential election#Results by state. Side note: there is no "electoral College of Georgia". The electoral college is the collection of all electors from all the states (and DC). --User:Khajidha (talk) (contributions) 13:04, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The ballot might say "Donald J. Trump (President) and Michael Pence (Vice President)", but you are really voting for a "slate of electors pledged to vote for a specific presidential and vice presidential candidate". See United States presidential election#The popular vote on Election Day. 2600:1702:2670:B530:45F1:4B99:55AD:C545 (talk) 12:47, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
