[Andria Hall, Cnn Anchor:] Now we take you to Florida, where the electors arrived in Tallahassee today ahead of tomorrow's historic vote. They will gather at noon tomorrow in the Senate chambers to officially give George W. Bush the state's 25 electoral votes. Our Susan Candiotti is standing by live in Tallahassee with more on that. Hi, Susan.
[Susan Candiotti, Cnn Correspondent:] Hello, Andria. The electors say they are ready to go when they meet tomorrow, their work almost upstaged by the Florida legislature, which said it was going to pass a resolution to commit all the electors, all the votes to Governor Bush if there had been a count of under votes for Vice President Gore and Governor Bush throughout the state of Florida. Now because here in Florida electors must sign a loyalty pledge to the GOP or to whichever party is involved, political observers say it is unlikely there will be any defectors.
[Unidentified Male:] I can't imagine it. These are Republican, devout Republican people. And Al Gore himself has disavowed rogue electors. He doesn't want them, and I don't think you'll see them, not in Tallahassee and not elsewhere.
[Linda Kleindienst, "the Sun-sentinel":] The legislative session sort of fizzled. The U.S. Supreme Court sort of took the air out of the Gore campaign balloon, and everything just fell apart last week. And I think the Electoral College is a little bit of an afterthought at this point, but still maybe people will get a sense of finality out of it when they sign their pledges.
[Candiotti:] Tomorrow the electors are scheduled to have brunch with Governor Jeb Bush, then make their way to the Senate chambers, where they will cast their ballots at high noon, a scene to be repeated nationwide in various state capitals. Back to you, Andria.
[Hall:] Thank you, Susan.
[Brian Nelson, Cnn Anchor:] And now we turn to the state of Arizona, where seven GOP electors are prepared to cast their votes. They will do so in the executive tower of the state capital, and that will be tomorrow as well. CNN's Jennifer Auther joins us now live from Phoenix. Jennifer, what have I got in store?
[Jennifer Auther, Cnn Correspondent:] Well, Brian, actually there are eight electors here in Arizona. This is one state that does not bind them, either by oath or by law, to vote for the candidate that their name appeared next to on the November 7th ballot. However, these are also devout Republican electors. They've been asked by the media through the months if any of them would defect. None of them said that they will. What's going to happen here is tomorrow, 2:00 Arizona time, 4:00 Eastern, Secretary of State Betsy Bayliss will administer an oath of office. She will then explain to the eight electors what they are going to be signing. She will be telling them that they're signing a certificate of vote, that Governor Jane D. Hull will be seated here, she's a Republican, and that each of the eight electors will be seated in alphabetical order in this room. What they will get is called a certificate of vote. And we were just lucky enough to get a copy of one of those. And this is what it looks like. Each of the eight electors will sign his or her name and then pass it on to the next elector. There are one of these for the president-elect and then a separate one for the vice president-elect. In all, 12 of these copies will be signed. We're told that six copies go to the president of the Senate, which we should all know by mow is Al Gore, two will got to the National Archives and then two will go to the Arizona U.S. District Court. And then the remaining certificate of votes that are signed will remain here. Each of them will have placed on them the seal of the great state of Arizona, and then they will be overnight super mailed to Washington for later count for the overall tally. I'm Jennifer Auther reporting live from Phoenix,
[Cnn. Nelson:] Thank you, Jennifer. And once again, there are eight GOP electors in Arizona.
