JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Missouri’s presidential electors have cast all 10 of the state’s votes for Republican President Donald Trump.

The Electoral College members met Monday at the state Capitol for a brief ceremony to formally write their votes on paper ballots.

Though Democrat Joe Biden won nationally, Trump easily carried Missouri with nearly 57% of the vote in the Nov. 3 presidential election.

Missouri’s electors were chosen earlier this year by a vote of Republican Party members.
