A Conversation With Independent Presidential Candidate Evan McMullin

Twelfth Amendment to the United States Constitution - Wikipedia

If no candidate for President has a majority of the total votes, the House of Representatives, voting by states and with the same quorum requirements as under the original procedure, chooses the President. The Twelfth Amendment requires the House to choose from the three highest receivers of electoral votes, compared to five under the original procedure.

If no candidate for Vice President has a majority of the total votes, the Senate, with each Senator having one vote, chooses the Vice President. The Twelfth Amendment requires the Senate to choose between the candidates with the "two highest numbers" of electoral votes. If multiple individuals are tied for second place, the Senate may consider all of them, in addition to the individual with the greatest number of votes

so if neither candidate reaches 270 then the House can choose someone else

The question presumes that anyon is actually abiding by the Constitution now, they aren't so no.

If those six votes go to McMullin, and neither of the other two get 269, oh, yes, Dana, it will matter very much.

Yes it would matter but that's a HUGE if.

Nate Silver has Hillary with 344.9 electoral votes. That's without Utah.

He has trump with 192.7 electoral. With the Utah electoral votes in his column.

I'm not saying that's set in stone, there's 3 weeks to go. Anything can happen but I've never seen a poll with trump winning the electoral college.

If McMullin takes Utah, then, yes, a House run off is possible.

Actually not.

Whether Trump or McMullin wins Utah is irrelevant, it doesn't change the EC math for Clinton, who is already well above 270.

At this moment, and that can change for HRC, Jones. Don't put all your eggs in the basket yet. McMullin is relevant if either cannot get to 270, and you reveal your irrelevance when you act like a member of the Alt right.
