Chalian: Electoral College Casting Its Votes Is ‘Sort of a Day to Step Back and Celebrate Democracy’

EXCERPT:

CHALIAN: "Well, certainly those three critical states, Georgia, Arizona, we saw the Pennsylvania process are getting under way there. They all were in Donald Trump’s column four years ago. They will formally this hour be in Joe Biden’s column, Wolf. But I just want to take you back and remind you that back on November 3rd, you know, we saw 155 million people plus come out and vote in this presidential election, record turnout. It is that power of the American voters that is powering this constitutionally mandated day. This is the actual vote that matters that elects the president and -- and vice president but it has that power of record turnout behind it. So it -- it  is sort of a day to step back and celebrate democracy, but it is also a day that has responsibility attached to it, our responsibility to show all of the viewers, to show the country and the world this process unfold while Donald Trump and his allies want to suggest falsely without any, any realm of fact that the election was rigged, or stolen, or in some way not what it is. And now everyone can see for themselves the process that plays out, it's sort of the bookend to that record turnout that we saw across the country in November."
