It's Possible Harris and Trump Tie 269-269 in the Electoral College.
How is the president elected if the electoral vote ends in a tie or no candidate reaches 270 electoral votes?
As this recently updated article discusses, while extremely unlikely, given the way this timeline is going it's possible the electoral college ends in a tie. Nate Silver projects this as a .3% possibility.
Things to think about:
-
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.
-
If there's a tie, the House elects a president and the Senate elects a VP. Sub-consideration: it is the composition of the House and Senate after the November election that makes those determinations.
-
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. š¤£
