While it’s extremely unlikely, given the way this timeline is going…

Things to think about:

  1. Only about half of the states require their electors to vote for the person that won their state. Who are the electors? Generally no one you know.

  2. If there’s a tie, the House elects a president and the Senate elected the VP. Sub-consideration: it is the composition of the House and Senate after the November election that makes those determinations.

  3. This would all technically be decided on January 6th. And you remember how that went last time.

Regardless, it’s highly unlikely this will happen. Still, this would be utter and complete madness. There is literally a non-zero chance we have a Trump/Harris administration. 🤣

    I’ve just been playing with interactive Electoral maps and got that outcome and I quickly changed it. Scared me too much.

    Messing around with it is super interesting though. Harris can lose PA and WI out of the blue wall states if she keeps NV, AZ, and picks up either GA or NC. PA simplifies everything, though, but I see why they’re spending a good bit of time in GA.
