    there was a televised discussion of a poll this morning projecting 260s for both sides. if neither side wins decisively, guess who gets to choose the winner. a little bitty bible thumping trump loving nearsighted nitwit named mike.

        nobody said anything about any 3rd party wins. its basicly about the women vs men and how equal or not the numbers are. a middle split can keep both sides from hitting the magic 270. and if that happens the winner is decided by a congressional consensus.

          Ah, in my mind there was an odd number of EC electors so an even split wasn’t possible without 3rd party electors.

            There are 538. It’s possible to tie with 269 each. Though IIRC the most likely model to get there required Nebraska to do some ratfuckery and change it’s one split off district back with the rest of the state.
