If this election goes to the House of Representatives

[DGS49]

Most Leftists, being stupid and/or unaware, relish the thought of this election being so fucked up that it ends up in the House of Representatives.

But let's review how that plays out.

Article II, Section 2, on the ultimate election in the House: "...But in choosing the President, the votes shall be taken by States, the Representation from each State having one vote..."

Think about that. Each state's delegation in the House shall get one (1) vote. That means that the Delegation from California (53 Representatives) gets ONE vote, and the Delegation from, say, South Dakota (1 Representative) gets...you guessed it...One vote. So the vote in the House will be won, presumably, by the candidate who has the most state delegations, NOT the candidate who has the most partisans in the House. And the Republicans control 27 out of 50 State delegations.

Yuk, yuk, yuk.

Great point.

But this will be decided by the courts, which is why the Maoists are in such a meltdown over RGB, without the court, they can't win.

STANDARD DISCLAIMER: RGB - Red, Green, Blue - the original IBM color display that allowed for only 4 colors
