Electoral Nightmares

Posted on by Lauren
So there is all kinds of talk of getting the Electors to ignore the vote of the “flyover” states and not give Trump the election with his 296 confirmed and 10 contested (Wisconsin) Electoral votes.
 
How many of you realize that it serves no purpose to go here?
 
How many know the process then goes to Congress if the Electoral College ignores the votes as cast? Oh they can ignore them, and have as it turns out.
 
If they do this time the House of Reps gets to decide the President (Trump wins, though there is a slim chance they go for Johnson) from the 3 highest popular vote winners and the Senate gets to decide the VP from the 2 highest popular vote winners for that ticket (won’t be Kaine).
 
Just my 2 cents…
