No Biden would have failed to reach 270. It would go to the House, a potential Trump win.

No Biden would have failed to reach 270. It would go to the House, a potential Trump win.

If a State fails to appoint electors, that drops the 270. Winning is a majority of electors appointed, not total possible electors. Therefore if PA fails to appoint any, the total electors appointed drops to 518, meaning 260 is then the majority number to win.
