McCain wins after all

That's not how it works.

The ELECTORAL COLLEGE is still the final say. The Democrat electors can cast votes for ANY Democrat who qualified to run for POTUS.

They could as easily vote for Hilary Clinton as Bill Richardson or anyone else who ran as a democrat.

As far as dual citizenship and running for POTUS would it not disqualify him anyway? I do not know since I do have difficulties interpreting the law, but I found this on another site:

This, in and of itself, may arguably disqualify him under Article II as the whole point of the “Natural Born Citizen” requirement is the avoidance of divided allegiances.

I've tried to find anything that would explain this to me, but unfortunately I can't! Is there a lawyer on here?
