我泼点冷水：各州送往国会的electoral votes还是需要州长签字的。问题是州长会在两份绝然不同的文件上签字吗？

The Tuesday following the first Monday in November has been fixed as the day for holding federal elections, called the Election Day.^[101] After the election, each state prepares seven Certificates of Ascertainment, each listing the candidates for president and vice president, their pledged electors, and the total votes each candidacy received.^[102] One certificate is sent, as soon after Election Day as practicable, to the National Archivist in Washington. The Certificates of Ascertainment are mandated to carry the state seal and the signature of the governor (or mayor of D.C.).^[103]
