Imagine an electoral college tie

Recommended Posts

I am watching CNN and the talking head is working the delegate map and if it ends up being 269 to 269, which is possible if Trump can win Michigan, Ohio and Florida, then it goes to the House for a vote.

 

Imagine it gets that far and the Republican controlled House votes for Hillary.

Any Republican congressman that voted for Clinton would be ousted from their position the very next election. They might not even make it that long TBH. They'd have to live in isolation

The new congress would do this, which will likely be majority Democrat, so Hillary wins anyway

I think they would wait until the next day and let a tie in an election between two other candidates decide the winner.

Imagine if that vote ended in a tie in the House? I think rules state it then goes to Total Season Points or maybe Obama.

The vote would happen after the new congress is sworn in or before?

Why you gotta be so mean?

 

Perhaps because he is continually wrong and his candidate is in quicksand. :dunno:

If I were a tie, it would likely be majority republican.

The House is seriously gerrymandered to favor Republicans and I couldn't imagine it reverting to Dem control before redistricting until after the 2020 elections.

Definetly not if it ended in a tie. That would mean blue states went red, and I don't see how that would mean dem control. Hoyt isn't too bright I'm afraid.
