CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) - The Latest on Nevada’s Electoral College vote to certify the winner of the state’s presidential contest (all times local):
2:45 p.m.
Nevada’s six Democratic presidential electors have cast their ballots for Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine in accordance with state law.
The electors met at 2 p.m. on Monday for the ceremony that lasted about a half-hour. About 50 members of the public observed the event in the old Assembly chambers in the state Capitol.
Electors posed for pictures with their ballots before submitting them to Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske (suh-GAV’-skee)
Clinton carried Nevada against President-elect Trump. Unlike in some other states, Nevada’s electors are required to cast their ballot accordingly. If they don’t, state law requires Cegavske to appoint someone to replace them, and repeat the process until she finds an elector willing to follow the law.
About 40 protesters gathered outside the Capitol to express opposition to President-elect Donald Trump.

About 40 protesters have gathered outside the Nevada Capitol to express their opposition to President-elect Donald Trump.
Democrat Hillary Clinton won Nevada and its six Electoral College votes, so the message by the protesters is apparently aimed at the national outcome.
They carried signs that said “Love Trumps Hate” and “Unfit to Lead Our Nation.” One passer-by honked his horn in support of the gathering.
