It's official: Electoral College votes for Trump - but by how much?

As predicted, Monday's Electoral College results solidified President-elect Donald Trump's transition into the White House next month.

He has so far garnered 304 of the Electoral College votes cast Monday, compared to Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's 166 votes. The day, however, was not without drama. Texas Electoral College members engaged in a standoff of sorts, with some electors refusing to attend. Those electors were replaced and after settling in, Texas committed 36 of its 38 electoral votes to Trump, which put him over the 270 votes needed to officially win the presidency.

As of 4:30 PM CST, results were not in from California or Nevada yet, but there have so far been six "faithless electors" who voted for a candidate who did not win their state. There was a growing movement to convince electors to abandon their votes for Trump, but most of the faithless electors came from the Democratic delegation.

Four of the Democratic electors came from Washington state, and did not vote for Clinton even though she won the state. One elector from Minnesota attempted to switch his vote from Clinton to Democratic presidential primary hopeful Bernie Sanders, but was replaced by an alternate. Another elector from Maine attempted to cast his vote for Sanders, but was harshly criticized and decided to switch his vote back to Clinton.

The Republican National Committee released a statement after the Electoral College results solidified Trump's win, saying:

“This historic election is now officially over and I look forward to President-elect Trump taking the oath of office in January. Our unified Republican government will hit the ground running next year so we can deliver real change and make America great again. For the good of the country, Democrats must stop their cynical attempts to undermine the legitimacy of this election, which Donald Trump won decisively in the Electoral College with more votes than any Republican since 1988.”
