The 2024 presidential election did not end in the early hours of November 6, when major news networks called the race for President-elect Donald Trump. Instead, the full process actually ended on January 6, when Congress officially counted each state’s electoral votes. Our democracy includes a comprehensive set of checks and balances to ensure all votes are counted and election results are honored.

Our democracy is strongest when every American has the opportunity to participate. Yet coordinated efforts by partisan actors to conduct “mass voter challenges” threaten Americans’ freedom to vote across the country and stand to overwhelm and overburden election officials during an already busy time.  Mass challenges are exactly what they sound like — attempts by individuals to question or challenge someone’s eligibility to vote.

The president and vice president are chosen by the Electoral College, which is composed of individuals called “electors” from each state. When Americans cast their ballots for president, they are actually voting for their state’s slate of electors. After Election Day, electors meet in their respective states to cast their electoral votes and send those votes to Congress. The role of Congress is to count the electoral votes from each state to confirm the winner.
