Weeks after the November balloting, the members of the Electoral College get together in each state on Dec. 18 and conduct the real election for president and vice president. The National Archives and other designated officials receive those electoral votes, and Congress officially counts them on Jan. 6. Any last-minute effort to get individual electors to change a vote from Bush to Gore is highly unlikely. First of all, Gore's campaign chairman, former Commerce Secretary William Daley, said Wednesday that the vice president attempted to concede the election in the early morning hours when the major television networks called the Florida election for Bush. Gore actually conceded to Bush in a telephone call. In other words, Gore was attempting to honor the result of the probable electoral balloting, even though it did not reflect the changing popular vote. vny.com
