If a state would give up their electoral votes then it seems it would 50% + 1 of 538-37 = 501 or 251? Still doesn’t help Pres. Trump@@@@@@

As I understand this, the total required does not change if a States electoral votes are not accepted. Think of it as voting “Present”. The number is still 270 to outright win the electoral college vote.

ThanQ,
I quoted the Constitution.
Where do I go to find out what you are talking about?

I did look before i answered you previously and was disappointed with the results, that’s why I asked for your help.

Now, the only place I could find that had any decent meaning was wiki here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_Count_Act

see under “Majority of electors”

and they came up with 2 different scenarios.
One is for my scenario, one could be for your scenario, tho they call it an open issue.
A notation: “Congress avoided addressing the issue in the [Electoral Count Act].”[3]:654”

Talking about living in interesting times...
