Breaking news I know, but today was the day when the only votes that mattered for President got cast.
El Paso Times: Secretary of State Hope Andrade presided over the meeting until Peale was elected chair. The Austin Girls' Choir sang the national anthem, the Texas state song and "America the Beautiful."
Peale explained that Texas has the second-largest number of presidential electors behind California with its 55. New York has 31, and Florida has 27 electors. Pennsylvania and Illinois each have 21. The college was intended by the founding fathers to give all states a say in the election of the president.
