The Person having the greatest Number of Votes shall be the President, if such Number be a Majority of the whole Number of Electors appointed;

So this is worse and worse for the Dems.

Let's say, New York and California deliberately screw up, and can't count the votes by the deadline.

Then the number of electors appointed is 535 - 55 (CA) - 29 (NY), which is 451.

That means Trump only has to get 226 to clinch the election, not 270.

Now look at 2016, ok? Trump got (call it) 306, biden 229. So Trump could LOSE 80 electoral votes and still win the election.

These people are STUPID.

This is really getting old.

I wish there was a way to delete my post to stop people from knee jerk responding to it without reading the thread.
