I'm inside the Michigan State Capitol where our electors are set to vote at 2 p.m. today. The capitol is closed to the public and only select staff, pooled press, and electors are inside. Heavy state police presence in the capitol building. #ElectoralCollege #mileg 
The meeting is officially convened. Michigan's executive branch leaders are in primary colors in the front row (left to right) AG Dana Nessel, SOS Jocelyn Benson, and Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. Singers just sang the national anthem & Black National Anthem #ElectoralCollege #mileg
Invocations came from a Rabbi & an Imam. Quite a moment when Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, Attorney General Dana Nessel, & Chief Justice Bridget Mary McCormack are recognized. All dignitaries are women. Gov. Whitmer gets a standing O from electors when she starts to speak.
Lieutenant Governor Garlin Gilchrist is unanimously chosen to be the chair person of this meeting of this electoral college. Role being called now.#ElectoralCollege
