SALT LAKE CITY â With a little applause and no drama that has played out in other states, Utah s six Electoral College votes were cast for President Trump and Vice-President Mike Pence.
During a meeting of the Board of Electors on Monday, the votes were cast as determined by the winner of the presidential vote in Utah. The electors sat in their seats and signed papers verifying the results and applauded after they finished.
SALT LAKE CITY A former Republican state lawmaker and congressional candidate had hoped to cast his Electoral College ballot for the next president of the United States.
But Chris Herrod said it was still an honor to participate Monday as presidential electors gathered in Utah and across the country to elect the president and vice president. I look at it as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he said.
Utah s six electoral votes went to President Donald Trump, who defeated Democrat Joe Biden in the popular vote in Utah 58% to 37%. Trump had 865,140 votes to Biden s 560,282. It looks like the election is going to go to Biden. I d rather have my vote go to the winner, so it s not exactly how I hoped it would be, said Herrod, who brought his 12-year-old son Reagan to the state Capitol to witness the event. Each elector was allowed to bring one guest.
