(Radio Iowa) – Six Iowans have cast their votes in the Electoral College for President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence. Trump finished eight points ahead of Joe Biden in Iowa and carried all but six of Iowa’s 99 counties. Governor Kim Reynolds was on hand this (Monday) morning to greet the Electors at the State Capitol. “Turn out for the General Election was incredibly high in the State of Iowa and I think that’s something we can all be very proud of,” she said.

Turnout in Iowa was over) “897,672 Iowans voted for Donald Trump for president and Mike Pence for vice president…Those votes were technically and legally votes cast for the six of you,” Pate said. “…I want to congratulate you, the Electors, and thank you for your service.” David Chung of Cedar Rapids is a long-time Republican Party activist, but this was the first time he’s served as an Elector. “It’s kind of bitter sweet,” Chung says. “Obviously I’m a Republican Elector, so I was hoping to be part of re-electing a Republican president, but still happy to be part of the process.”

The Electors signed a number of documents, some of which will be delivered to congress.
