If the polls closed right at this moment (which they won't) and if the results in each state perfectly mirrored the current RealClearPolitics average of polls in each state (which they won't), Hillary Clinton would be elected president by an electoral college margin of 8 votes. From her high in the polls a week or two ago, Clinton's leads in a number of critical battleground states have collapsed or evaporated entirely. The election could come down to one state with four electoral college votes that flips from Clinton to Donald Trump and, boom: A 269-269 electoral college tie, and a vote by the House of Representatives to decide on the next president -- who, given the composition of the House, would almost certainly be Donald Trump.
On Thursday, that Clinton state with four electoral college votes raised its hand. Hi, New Hampshire! Two new polls, from Boston Globe-Suffolk University and WBUR-MassInc put the Granite State at a virtual tie, with the continuing trend in the state away from Clinton. That's Trump's 269th electoral college vote. Or, really, his 270th: Polling in Maine's second congressional district (which allocates one electoral college vote separately) has Trump in the lead. He wins the states he holds now and that one in Maine? President Donald J. Trump....

I wasn't being sarcastic at all; I was being logical, truthful, and sane!
Look, IF and it's now a GIGANTIC "if", team Hillary can manage to get enough voter fraud done, which they can NOT do (more on this later ), they will do it to WIN/steal the election and NEVER to effect a tie.
In a tie situation, yes, Congress breaks the tie and that does NOT mean picking someone else. Forget Pence; why not Ryan; if you want to write some some alternative FICTION story? Or Rubio or jebbie, or hell...even Biden? This whole thing makes about as much sense, some idiot pundit's wetdream.
And given the choice, the Dems in the House would rather NOT have Hillary...all things considered.
Since the breakup of ACORN and their changing of names, etc., this group has more or less exploded and become pretty impotent. Bertha Lewis, who headed the whole mess, is now in charge of THE WORKERS AND FAMILIES' PARTY, which is more or less only in N.Y. state and has less clout than the BLM!
Oh sure....the Dem's DEAD VOTE will still be out in large amounts, so will the peons who will vote at least twice and most times far more than that. OTOH...many more of these little nothings but cannon fodder are being caught now. And people ARE seeing their votes changed, by machines and demanding to have their REAL votes counted!
And finally, ye of no faith at all....Trump IS going to win and win big enough, so that voter fraud won't matter and you can go back to believing that the Illuminati, the Free Masons, the Swiss gnomes, the stupid, useless GOPEers and the filthy MARXISTS and SOCIALISTS, funded by that evil incarnat, George Soros, will manage to pull off your delusional, uneducated scenario. LOL
As traitors to our free republic, they need their citizenship revoked and sent to an isolated island.
Consider it environmental toxic waste cleanup to save the planet.
And that can be handled pretty quickly.
Are you saying that the House Dems are just going to roll over and allow Trump to be put into office just like that without putting up any kind of fight?
I think you're confusing House Dems with the House GOPe
It most assuredly was NOT I who came up with that pathetic, stupid, uneducated "TIE" garbage, which you no doubt got from listening to morons on T.V.!
You're a #NEVERTRUMPER still, I see. It's only THEY who pray for this unalloyed drivel. LOL
