If a presidential election goes to the House of Representatives, each state gets one vote in the election of a president. The congressmen do not vote as individuals, they vote collectively as members of their state delegations and each state gets one vote.
While the House is in Democrat hands, are a majority of House state delegations controlled by Democrats? Will that be true as a result of this November’s elections? That’s what we need to know.
According to “Google”, 26 out of 50 House delegations are majority Republican, while 22 are majority Democrat. Two states are evenly divided. That’s the important number if this election goes to the House, not that the Democrats may still control the House overall. Since they vote by state, we would need to know whether a majority of states delegations are controlled by each party after the Nov. 2020 elections.
But is it the 2018 Congress the votes, Or the new 2020 Congress?
