SUMMARY: On election day, voters select electors who officially cast their votes for president in each state’s Electoral College. In Kentucky, the process began with electors swearing an oath before voting. The votes were then carefully checked and recorded, with Kentucky casting eight votes for Donald Trump and JD Vance. This ceremonial event, held at 11:45 AM, involved meticulous procedures dictated by state law, with votes cast after noon. The Electoral College votes will be formally counted by Congress on January 6th. Audits will also be conducted to ensure free, fair, and secure elections, as reported from Frankfurt by Bod Brooks.

A crucial function of electing our country’s president took place in state legislatures all across the United States on Tuesday.
