Monday essentially will be the real presidential Election Day, or is scheduled to be, as electors gather in their respective state capitols to cast votes.
When voters pick their candidate for president on Election Day every four years, as well as in early and mail-in voting this year, they actually choose a slate of electors associated with a candidate.
Each of those electors later casts his or her vote for president on behalf of the state and according to its election results.
Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and President Donald Trump
In past presidential election years, the day the Electoral College convenes to vote goes largely ignored, as most of the public stops paying attention after Election Day.
Amid allegations of voter fraud, litigation in key states, and state legislative hearings, Americans are more focused than in past presidential election years on the gathering of electors set for Monday.

President Trump told a White House Hanukkah party on Wednesday night that he is going to win this election with help from certain very important people
He appeared to be referencing the Supreme Court judges who he said needed to have wisdom and courage
It came after he submitted a motion to join a case filed to the Supreme Court on Monday by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton
The case, which has been joined by 17 other Republican-led states, is trying to sue four battleground states to invalidate Joe Biden s victories there
Paxton claims election results in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Georgia are tainted due to the elections processes in those states
