| binary solo said: I think the biggest point of interest is Utah possibly going 3rd party (or rather alt-Republican really). That hurts Trump of course since Utah is a state the Republican candidate can usually take to the bank. It does create the theoretical possibility of no one getting to 271, which you would think might cause the president to be determined by popular vote winner. But it turns out congress gets to decide. Which, even if you think congress will be one your side this time around, is something you should actually be concerned about, since congress is completely free to select a president that failed to get the most electoral college votes and failed to win the national popular vote. i.e. completely undermine democracy. |
Happened to Andrew Jackson and how we got President John Quincy Adams.
I don't see that happening here as even if Utah goes to third party it hurts Trump more than it causes concern for Clinton to get to 270.
