I think at this point it's not a road we need to be going down though. We've got what we've got and it's time to see if we can muddle through.

What could possibly go wrong?

If the actual final count is a tie, what happens then? |
Re: 2016 Election
It goes to the House for a vote - and Trump gets elected anyway.

If it's that close, then you are right. I was thinking of Wisconsin flipping. That sounds unlikely to me.

A tie in electoral votes? The House chooses the President. Not necessarily one of the candidates. But likely Trump although some would like Ryan. It has actually happened twice as I recall.

Ryan's a climate change denier too, so screw him, but that would be ... interesting. |

Wait, so say in some weird alternative reality, it is a tie, the House could just go '**** you - Ryan 2016'?

They do not have to choose either. Who knows. The Republican vote could split into Trump/Ryan situation leaving Dems to go Clinton. Not going to happen..but it is an interesting monkey wrench in the process. |

Ok. Yes. "unlike under the Electoral College systemwhere larger population equals more votes, each of the 50 states in the House gets exactly one vote when selecting the president." Also..just for fun...the Senate elects the VP |
