NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee’s 11 representatives to the Electoral College on Monday cast their vote for President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence.
“Today we conclude what has been a unique election cycle,” said Elections Coordinator Mark Goins ahead of vote that took place in Tennessee’s House chamber.
Monday is the day set by law for the meeting of the Electoral College, where all 50 states' electors and the District of Columbia cast their ballots. The results will be sent to Washington and tallied in a Jan. 6 joint session of Congress over which Vice President Mike Pence will preside.
Trump won Tennessee by more than 60% in the November presidential election against Democrat Joe Biden. Tennessee is a winner-take-all state, so all 11 elector votes went to Trump.
“Tennessee’s electors casting ballots in the Electoral College is the last step in our electoral process,” said Secretary of State Tre Hargett. “Tennessee had a safe, sensible and responsible election, thanks to the hard work and planning by our Division of Elections, the administrators and staff of our 95 county election commissions and all of the poll officials who stepped up to serve in their communities.”
The Volunteer State has 11 of the total 538 electoral votes that make up the U.S. Electoral College. Each state gets two at-large electors and one elector for each congressional district. Tennessee has nine congressional districts.
The electors who cast Tennessee’s U.S. Electoral College ballots were:
- Congressional District 1: Paul Chapman
- Congressional District 2: Cindy Hatcher
- Congressional District 3: Tina Benkiser
