Biden's selection of cabinet members will be a key indicator of the future policy direction of his administration, especially of its China policy. What do the choices tell us so far? What will be the Biden administration's approach to relations with China? And what changes can be expected in terms of trade, foreign policy and response to the pandemic and economic recovery?

Hold on there comrade, its not official. There is a catch. A Twist. With the Supreme Court tossing Texas’s case against Pennsylvania, Georgia, Wisconsin, and Michigan — a case Trump once referred to as “the big one — his GOP allies are continuing to extend the fight, casting an alternate slate of electoral votes — creating “dueling slates of electors” — in the event of a viable challenge in Congress — which is needed for such a challenge.

Miller explained the tactic of selecting an “alternate slate of electors, ” during a Monday appearance on Fox News.

“This would ensure that all of our legal remedies remain open, ” he stated.

This occurred in Michigan on Monday, where Republican electors attempted to deliver their votes to the Senate but were reportedly turned away. According to U.S. News, “Trump loyalists in Pennsylvania met in Harrisburg and cast what they described as a ‘conditional vote’ for Trump.” An “alternate Republican slate” also cast ceremonial votes for President Trump in Georgia on Monday. Republicans in Wisconsin, another contested state, reportedly made a similar move.

Andrew Hitt, Chairman of the Wisconsin Republican Party, said in a statement that their electors met “to preserve our role in the electoral process while the final outcome is still pending in the courts”:

Trump has 316 Electoral College votes. There are 7 states with 84 electoral college votes that have two different slates of electors - Pennsylvania (20), Georgia(16), Michigan (16), Arizona (11), Wisconsin (10), Nevada (6), New Mexico (5). Now the question is for the Congress to choose which electors they will accept.

Interesting bit of Constitutional trivia: The President of the Senate, i.e. the serving Vice President of the United States of America, is the person responsible for opening and accepting the electoral College votes from the states.

States will send their votes to the Senate by December 23, and Congress will count the votes on January 6. Per Brookings, “battles over competing slates of electors would play out during the tally could depend in part on which party controls the newly seated House and Senate, ” as a “divided government could produce challenges to Pence’s decisions as to which competing slates of electors to accept.”

This is not the first time in history that the U.S. has grappled with the concept of an alternate slate of electors.

“In 1876, dueling electors in three states were deadlocked until a deal was brokered days before Inauguration Day, ” Reuters reported.

Even as electors across the nation cast their votes on Monday, President Trump has vowed to fight on.
