Not really. If that is the case.. Trump still wins in the EC with 260 votes to her 232 as 246 is new threshold majority. It does however reduce the number of needed “faithless electors” to switch to Hillary to 15.

If no candidate reaches 270 I believe the House elects the President; this doesn’t work for Dems/libs either. This was the same scenario Gore faced in 2000; if FL wasn’t certified he still would have lost.

At that point, threaten, intimidate, and blackmail fifteen electors. Or bribe them.

Piece of pie for the Clintons. Easy as cake.

Even if the faithless electors switch, the House still has the final say...they do NOT have to accept a corrupted electoral college vote.

Oh tempora! Oh mores!
