Unsung electors pick president under the Electoral College
The article explains how the Electoral College works: voters choose electors who meet in state capitals on December 14 to cast ballots. Each state has electors equal to its senators and representatives, with winner take all in most states. A 270 electoral vote majority wins. if not, the House selects the president. The vice president is chosen by the Senate if no majority. Ballots are counted in state capitals, opened in the House, and tallied by four tellers. A large popular vote can still fail to win the Electoral College in a close race.

Snowstorm Locks Heartsland From Rockies To Plains
Snow covered the northern Rockies and Dakotas extending south to the Texas Panhandle and New Mexico, closing highways and leaving roads snow packed. Wyoming warned of slick roads as blizzards swept the Laramie range with up to two feet more snow likely. I-80 between Laramie and Cheyenne closed. Colorado searched for two climbers missing since Sunday in Rocky Mountain National Park as blizzard conditions halted helicopters and raised avalanche danger. Flooded by heavy snowfall, several roads and Yellowstone access were shut. Arrowhead Lodge and Gothic reported extreme totals. South Dakota saw hazardous travel due to blowing snow and ice from refrozen melt.
