I am posting from way behind, but if this hasn't been stated before, it needs to be. Should there be a problem with the electoral vote in December, such as not having electors from several states due to problems counting, the Presidency does not go to the Speaker of the house, whomever that might be. Instead, after the new Congress is sworn in, the House of Representatives would vote to determine who they choose for president. The way the vote is held is each state gets one vote. All the Reps from a state vote to determine who their state will vote for. Right now there are 26 majority Republican state delegations, 23 Democratic majority, and one tie. I expect that the Republicans will build upon that advantage in the 117th Congress.
So make sure you vote, to make that happen!

that’s confusing....is it the state legislatures or is it that states congressmen that get to vote.....I’d prefer it be the state legislatures...
