OK

Now, per the 12th. lets take a look at history. There were 4? in the 1825 election? And it went to the house.

Not saying that the others could throw their support behing Klintoon and effect the outcome, but one DID throw her support behind Klintoon and failed...whether she admits it or not.

Okay. But the reason the election went to the House in 1825 was because no one received the commensurate number of electoral votes which represented a majority at that time.

This year, from an electoral college standpoint, there are only two candidates - Trump and Clinton. No one else secured any electoral votes.

Barring an outright revolution by most of the electors, one of the two people will win the election today - and he/she will win it as soon as he/she receives his/her 270th electoral vote.

Based on the results of the voting back in November, and the current state-by state rules regarding electors, that person should be Donald Trump. And, given his lead in numbers of pledged electors, it should occur without a lot of drama - apart from that which will be manufactured by the democrats and the media after the electoral vote is certified.
