If Congress is deciding the Presidential election, it doesn't matter how many congressmen there are. The Constitution grants them only 1 vote per state. We hold the majority of states. 26-23.

If it goes to congress, we win.

Wrong.

It's true that IF the House of Representatives is called on to elect the President that each State gets one vote.

But before that can happen, the sealed Electoral votes have to be opened and counted by Mike Pence in the presence of the entire membership of the House and the Senate, present in Joint Session, and any objections (which could lead to the election going to the House) have to be dealt with.

This is not delineated in Article II and Amendment XII, and it led to a prolonged crisis in 1876, which caused the passage of the Electoral Vote Counting Act which has since been amended several times.

For the House to be given the responsibility of electing the President, FIRST the Vote Counting Session must rule that no one has a majority. With only two candidates, this can only happen with a 269-269 tie OR if the Congress disallows enough votes to create a no majority situation.

With the party makeup of the new Congress (270 Democrats and 265 Republicans) this is not going to happen.
