The North American RV is currently just waiting on a trio of elections to complete voting on Sunday.
All three effect the bigger GCR picture significantly. As all countries must go together or none shall go per the Elders.
Be patient.

Electoral College
The Electoral College is a process, not a place. The founding fathers established it in the Constitution as
a compromise between election of the President by a vote in Congress
and election of the President by a popular vote of qualified citizens.
The Electoral College process consists of the selection of the electors,
the meeting of the electors where they vote for President and Vice
President, and the counting of the electoral votes by Congress.
The
Electoral College consists of 538 electors. A majority of 270 electoral
votes is required to elect the President. Your state’s entitled
allotment of electors equals the number of members in its Congressional
delegation: one for each member in the House of Representatives plus two
for your Senators. Read more about the allocation of electoral votes.
Under the 23rd Amendment of
the Constitution, the District of Columbia is allocated 3 electors and
treated like a state for purposes of the Electoral College. For this
reason, in the following discussion, the word “state” also refers to the
District of Columbia.
Each
candidate running for President in your state has his or her own group
of electors. The electors are generally chosen by the candidate’s
political party, but state laws vary on how the electors are selected and what their responsibilities are. Read more about the qualifications of the Electors and restrictions on who the Electors may vote for.
The presidential election is held every four years on the Tuesday after the first Monday
in November. You help choose your state’s electors when you vote for
President because when you vote for your candidate you are actually
voting for your candidate’s electors.
Most
states have a “winner-take-all” system that awards all electors to the
winning presidential candidate. However, Maine and Nebraska each have a
variation of “proportional representation.” Read more about the allocation of Electors among the states and try to predict the outcome of the Electoral College vote.
After
the presidential election, your governor prepares a “Certificate of
Ascertainment” listing all of the candidates who ran for President in
your state along with the names of their respective electors. The
Certificate of Ascertainment also declares the winning presidential
candidate in your state and shows which electors will represent your
state at the meeting of the electors in December of the election year.
Your stateÂ’s Certificates of Ascertainments are sent to the Congress
and the National Archives as part of the official records of the
presidential election. See the key dates for the 2016 election and information about the roles and responsibilities of state officials, the Office of the Federal Register and the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), and the Congress in the Electoral College process.
The meeting of the electors takes place on the first Monday after the second Wednesday
in December after the presidential election. The electors meet in their
respective states, where they cast their votes for President and Vice
President on separate ballots. Your state’s electors’ votes are recorded
on a “Certificate of Vote,” which is prepared at the meeting by the
electors. Your state’s Certificates of Votes are sent to the Congress
and the National Archives as part of the official records of the
presidential election. See the key dates for the 2016 election and information about the roles and responsibilities of state officials and the Congress in the Electoral College process.
Each state’s electoral votes are counted in a joint session of Congress on the 6th of January
in the year following the meeting of the electors. Members of the House
and Senate meet in the House chamber to conduct the official tally of
electoral votes. See the key dates for the 2016 election and information about the role and responsibilities of Congress in the Electoral College process.
The
Vice President, as President of the Senate, presides over the count and
announces the results of the vote. The President of the Senate then
declares which persons, if any, have been elected President and Vice
President of the United States.
The President-Elect takes the oath of office and is sworn in as President of the United States on January 20th in the year following the Presidential election.
Electors
The U.S. Constitution contains very few provisions relating to the qualifications of Electors. Article II, section 1, clause 2 provides
that no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust
or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector. As a
historical matter, the 14th Amendment provides that state officials who
have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the United States or
given aid and comfort to its enemies are disqualified from serving as
Electors. This prohibition relates to the post-Civil War era.
The
National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS) has compiled a
brief summary of state laws about the various procedures, which vary
from state to state, for selecting slates of potential electors and for
conducting the meeting of the electors. The document, Summary: State Laws Regarding Presidential Electors, can be downloaded from the NASS website.
Each
state's Certificates of Ascertainment confirms the names of its
appointed electors. A state's certification of its electors is generally
sufficient to establish the qualifications of electors.
Elector Selection
Choosing
each state's Electors is a two-part process. First, the political
parties in each state choose slates of potential Electors sometime
before the general election. Second, on Election Day, the voters in each
state select their state's Electors by casting their ballots for
President.
The first part of the process is
controlled by the political parties in each state and varies from state
to state. Generally, the parties either nominate slates of potential
Electors at their state party conventions or they chose them by a vote
of the party's central committee. This happens in each state for each
party by whatever rules the state party and (sometimes) the national
party have for the process. This first part of the process results in
each Presidential candidate having their own unique slate of potential
Electors.
Political
parties often choose Electors for the slate to recognize their service
and dedication to that political party. They may be state elected
officials, state party leaders, or people in the state who have a
personal or political affiliation with their party's Presidential
candidate. (For specific information about how slates of potential
Electors are chosen, contact the political parties in each state.)
The second part of the process happens
on Election Day. When the voters in each state cast votes for the
Presidential candidate of their choice they are voting to select their
state's Electors. The potential Electors' names may or may not appear on
the ballot below the name of the Presidential candidates, depending on
election procedures and ballot formats in each state.
The
winning Presidential candidate's slate of potential Electors are
appointed as the state's Electors—except in Nebraska and Maine, which
have proportional distribution of the Electors. In Nebraska and Maine,
the state winner receives two Electors and the winner of each
congressional district (who may be the same as the overall winner or a
different candidate) receives one Elector. This system permits the
Electors from Nebraska and Maine to be awarded to more than one
Elector Voting
There is no Constitutional provision or Federal law that
requires Electors to vote according to the results of the popular vote
in their states. Some states, however, require Electors to cast their
votes according to the popular vote. These pledges fall into two
categories—Electors bound by state law and those bound by pledges to
political parties.
The
U.S. Supreme Court has held that the Constitution does not require that
Electors be completely free to act as they choose and therefore,
political parties may extract pledges from electors to vote for the
parties' nominees. Some state laws provide that so-called "faithless
Electors" may be subject to fines or may be disqualified for casting an
invalid vote and be replaced by a substitute elector. The Supreme Court
has not specifically ruled on the question of whether pledges and
penalties for failure to vote as pledged may be enforced under the Constitution. No Elector has ever been prosecuted for failing to vote as pledged.
Today,
it is rare for Electors to disregard the popular vote by casting their
electoral vote for someone other than their party's candidate. Electors
generally hold a leadership position in their party or were chosen to
recognize years of loyal service to the party. Throughout our history as
a nation, more than 99 percent of Electors have voted as pledged.
