RICHMOND, Va. -- Virginia cast its 13 Electoral College votes for President-elect Joe Biden on Monday.
The 13 electors gathered at the state House of Delegates for a ceremony that was closed to the public amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Gov. Ralph Northam thanked the electors before they cast their votes.
Electors also participated in a prayer and the Pledge of Alliance before voting for Biden began.
Biden defeated President Donald Trump in November’s election by 10 percentage points.
Trump held a campaign rally at the Newport News airport in September that drew thousands of supporters, but overall the state was not a focus of either campaign.
