I mean this in all charity, UEM. It ain't that big of a deal. Some of us feel that it wouldn't be the most advantageous, but it will all be OK. There is a senate as a firewall to anything too earth shattering. Let's not be the opposite side of the "election day screaming freak-out meme" coin.

Stay cool and keep truckin', brother.

Not quite. The senate would vote to elect the vp from the two vp nominees who garnered the most votes. Each senator gets one vote. The house would vote to elect the president from the three presidential candidates who garnered the most votes. Each state delegation in the house would receive one vote. The Republicans control a majority of state delegations in the house along with the senate majority. If they all vote party lines, Trump/Pence would be elected. That is assuming there are no faithless electors in the electoral college. There were 10 in 2016. Three of which were cancelled due to state laws prohibiting faithless electors. Seven actually voted for someone else.

Crazy thought. Could the House vote Pence over Trump for the seat or does the vote have to be between Biden and Trump?

If it’s tied the house votes for the President. They must vote for someone in the top 3 national vote count. Each state house delegation gets one vote. Trump would win since more state delegations are Republicans if they vote accordingly. The Senate votes on a VP.

I knew about the state delegation part just wasn't sure about the other. But that is assuming delegations fall in line with party. Which you would assume that happens but ya never know

If Biden pulls this out, hopefully it will create enough momentum for AOC and her crew to become major players in the '24 election and send all the uneducated white voters running back to the hills!!

Look up Obama educated voters to trump. It’s fairly similar. Looks like you’re the uneducated one.
