For anyone wanting more input on this topic rather then reading snarky comments, I did some quick research because this idea has come up in some of my personal conversations this past week or two. And I would rather recognize accuracy in facts than attack the speaker for some reason because I “feel” I disagree with him/her. Some did post real info and a good link to accurate .gov. Great.
In addition, I found per a USG website:
- At least 21 states do not require by state law the electoral college electors follow the state’s vote.
- If no presidential candidate gets 270 electoral votes, or in this case looses 37+ votes (306-37<270), the House picks the president and the senate picks the VP.
-There is NO Federal law nor US Constitutional mandate for electoral college electors to vote for their respective state’s vote winner.
-All must me completed by the state’s by December, 13th.
Not on the website:
Do you trust the House who rubber stamped many of O’s requests in becoming law like the budget bills?
Do you trust a Senate that did the same?
Do you trust the Clinton campaign will stop at anything until Mr. Trump is sworn in on January 20th?
Do you trust the uniparty (Republicans & Democrats) who pursue so much of the same agenda regardless of what party is in power, will willingly risk all they have done since JFK, to be dissolve and dismembered by POTUS elect Mr. Trump and those he picks to delegate his POTUS authority?
Do you trust the main media to do what is right?
Personally, I completely trust the current administration, main media, and both parties to do and say the EXACT OPPOSITE of what is good, right, lawful, and proper. And if by some chance or by being lawfully forced, they do and say what is right, it will be with the wrong motives.

What happens if no presidential candidate gets 270 Electoral votes?
If no candidate receives a majority of Electoral votes, the House of Representatives elects the President from the 3 Presidential candidates who received the most Electoral votes. Each state delegation has one vote. The Senate would elect the Vice President from the 2 Vice Presidential candidates with the most Electoral votes. Each Senator would cast one vote for Vice President. If the House of Representatives fails to elect a President by Inauguration Day, the Vice-President Elect serves as acting President until the deadlock is resolved in the House.
The Constitution only requires that a candidate have 1 more vote than the other candidate. The 270 number is merely a point of no challenge that the media and viewers use to measure the final moment when the race is over.....
The constitution does not require a 270 minimum to secure the election. Congress only steps in to settle an electoral tie.
