I don't have that answer, but...for that to happen other candidates would have to get electoral votes. And that ain't gonna happen.

Not so.

269 - 269 would do it.

There are 538 electoral votes.

They can be split evenly at 269 without electing a president.

There are 538 electoral votes, divided by 2= 269.
You HAVE to have 270 electoral votes to win.
Equally divided, won't happen.
