This kind of thing is often mentioned, I have trouble seeing it work. What if the second election results in the same thing? Pretty soon it’s January and the new terms starts, who is running things? Who is paying for these extra elections?
For the Presidency ? Whomever would be the highest duly-elected officeholder as of January 20th. The Speaker of the House would be acting President in this instance.
However, this is something I’d see more likely as happening in a Governor’s race if anything, with either the Lt Governor/Sec of State/Atty Gen or legislative leader serving in an acting capacity.
When they had a situation in Minnesota in 1963 with a hung election between incumbent leftist RINO Gov. Elmer L. Andersen and Democrat Lt. Gov. Karl Rolvaag, Andersen remained a few months past the end of his term after the election was certified (he lost by 91 votes).
I'm sure the current power cabal would do all in their power to sabotage it.
What if the second election results in the same thing?
Back to the drawing board...
Pretty soon its January and the new terms starts, who is running things?
The same people who are now--the staffers. You don't think the elected Democrats stuffed the ACA with all that crap by themselves?
Who is paying for these extra elections?
We are. The same people paying for the results. You don't fill a job opening with unsuitable candidates, you hold out for someone at least adequate.
