cgbd,

I really hope you can put my mind at ease. I have never studied the US Constitution, but per your comment I reade Article 2 Section 1. What I understand is that the process to elect a US President is: first, electoral college; if none is winner, then the US house of reps votes; if none is winner, then the States
Legislatures vote (1 vote per State).

That means, that in case of a draw or in case that SCOTUS does not propose another solution, the Democrat House of Representatives chooses the President.

Please, please, please...tell me I am totally wrong.

Go listen to @Gingrich-in-PA Periscopes (last two, oldest one first though). Lays out a lot of whats going on and whats going to happen. Don’t panic about Pelosi and House as each state gets equal votes its NOT based on any current member count. And THAT benefits the R’s

You need to read Article 2 Section 1 of the Constitution and the Twelfth Amendment which amended it.

Each state gets _one_ vote in _Congress_ on the electors. It is not the total number of representatives in the whole House and Senate, it the total numbers per _state_.

The Republicans have more majorities in more state delegations than the Democrats do.

If the vote is decided in Congress, the Republicans win.
