It would be where there was no one who received 270 electoral votes ( a majority) because there were states that did not certify their elections, so, none were submitted. In that case, the election has been turned over to the house and the house votes. Given fealty to party, I would imagine a majority would be the victor and that would currently be GOP by a few votes. That's what Trump wanted Pence to do- refuse to certify the results. It has happened once in I believe either 1800 or 1802. A very scary possibility.
Peter, has anyone done the math on which states have installed election-deniers in the certification role, and mapped that against states we need on various paths?
Oh, ok, I get that would be a case where the votes were insufficient. I didn't know the House selects the candidate in that case. I thought it was only when there was a tie. Can you point me to a credible source on what happens when the votes are insufficient? Thx.
