> “You asked for an example when a President won without winning the EC. I gave you one.”

No, this was not what was asked. And no, you provided yet another error twisted into your false context.

You write with circular logic from fallacy to fallacy carrying error to error.

There are two constitutional ways a President can be elected:
1) By a majority of the EC where the denominator is the total number of memberships in the EC currently 538.
2) By a majority of 50 state delegations in the House of Representatives

The Adams case was decided in the House.

Enjoy walking in circles among your fallacies. Sorry but I have no more time for you. Good luck finding someone to give you the attention you seek.

That is exactly what you asked. 84/261
find an election case where a president was elected without a majority of the membership in the EC.
- A president can only be elected without a majority of electors appointed by either a tie, or a failure of the winner to achieve the majority, with either choice then followed by a vote of the House.

Circular logic? I don't think you know what that means - none of my argument depends on itself to sustain the argument. Yes, the Adams case was decided in the House - because he failed to garner a majority of electors appointed. That has no bearing on any arguments for your #1. YOU have the fallacy in assuming that every single election will have every single EC vote slot appointed. The Constitution does not require a majority of 538, it requires a majority of electors appointed, which has a MAX of 538 - giving a majority of 270. But if not every elector is appointed, then the total electors appointed is LESS than 538, which means that majority of that number is LESS than 270.
