U.S. President-elect Donald Trump surpassed the necessary 270 votes in the Electoral College on Monday, taking the next step in the official process to become President, CNN reported.

It was noted that the results of the Electoral College will be officially certified January 6 during a joint session of Congress.

According to CNN, in Washington state, four electors opted for other candidates, instead of backing Hillary Clinton. This is the first U.S. presidential election since 1872 with more than one “faithless elector.”
