Following election day, the states are to count and certify popular vote results according to their respective statutory and procedural requirements. When the states have completed

The certificates must list the names of the electors chosen by the voters and the number of votes received in the popular election results, also the names of all losing candidates for elector, and the number of votes they received. Certificates of Ascertainment, which are often
