If no one candidate receives an absolute majority of the electoral votes because a state's electors were prevented from casting their votes (or for some other reason) then, under the process of contingent election set forth in the Constitution, the President would be elected by the House of Representatives and the Vice President would be elected by the Senate. Both chambers are ruled by the Republicans.
Either way, Trump wins. The ONLY way it won't happen is if a recount produces a truly massive number of new votes for Clinton or illegal(mistakes) votes for Trump. Although anything is possible I believe it is a bridge too far.

I agree. The Good Lord has brought us this far, I don’t think He will allow it to be lost now.
So that means all the voting is ignored? No EC votes are used and the POTUS and VP are chosen by the senate and house?
So Hillary has had her lawyers working on this nonstop since before the actual election even. They likely did their best, but came up short—and the perpetual Leftist campaign decided to use what they had to just undermine Trump and the country as much as they could.
It doesn’t matter who has the largest number of members in the House of Representatives—it matters how many states they have a majority of members in. Each state casts one vote. If a state is evenly split, they won’t vote for either candidate. I think there are more than 30 state delegations where the Republicans have an absolute majority, but haven’t checked against the 2016 election results (they lost a few seats).
