Trump can actually get exactly 270 electors just by holding serve where he's supposed to and sweeping Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia. There is a very plausible scenario in which Trump hits 270 and gets the race called for him while all the other swing states are undeclared. Then all of them flipping blue under mysterious circumstances and bringing the total to 270-268 creates a scenario where just one faithless elector could cost Trump the presidency, assuming the Deep State cooks up some Russian interference bullshit as a fig leaf to get one guy to flip. If you're looking for a shitshow scenario to kickstart a civil war, something like that could well be it.

@ArdainianRight wouldn't be two faithless electors need to tip the scale? Only one looks like a 269-269 draw.

Tiebreaker is decided by the sitting vice president.

@ArdainianRight @TheMadPirate who the fuck decided that was good idea?
@beardalaxy @ArdainianRight people who never crossed their mind the sitting vice president would also be a running candidate

@TheMadPirate @ArdainianRight I thought that originally, the vice president would be the runner up in the election. That seems like something losers made up to try and win every now and then.
