Protesters disrupted a vote Monday that made Donald Trump's election in Wisconsin official.

Wisconsin's Republican electors officially voted to certify Wisconsin's 10 electoral votes from November's presidential election.

Around 50 protestors marched outside the state Capitol in sub-zero wind chills, while dozens more marched inside.

As the members of the Wisconsin Electoral College made the announcement, a protestor began shouting "This is my America" and other slogans, and was quickly escorted outside by security.

Other protestors chanted "shame" at the Republican presidential electors during the meeting and as they were leaving.
