Five-Thirty-Eight's Maggie Koerth-Baker reports that the protesters
expected to be welcomed by the police, who they consider their allies.

Peaceful protests were held in several state capitols (reports include
Colorado, Georgia, Kansas and Oregon).

Several congressional members (D & R) have stated they want to get the
Electoral College vote approved tonight.

Whiplash!
