By my math the race looks like this:  270 for Biden, 268 for Trump.  I am saying Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania for Trump.  Michigan, Nevada,  and Wisconsin for Biden.

All the Trump campaign has to do is find one faithless elector in a blue state to change his/her vote.  That would throw the race into a tie.  Looks like Wisconsin or Oregon are prime targets, because evidently there is no penalty, and the vote gets counted. 

Definitely buying a gun if we start hearing faithless elector talk.

I thought some states have penalties.  But it ain't gonna happen. 

 

 

 

 

Which of course means its going to happen....

....and here is a fairly recent example:   I was interested in whether anonymity was possible, and it is.

2004 - Anonymous (Democrat, Minnesota)

An unknown elector from Minnesota, pledged to vote for Democrat John Kerry, cast a presidential vote instead for Kerry’s running mate John Edwards (the elector also cast his or her vice presidential vote for Edwards). One Minnesota elector, who believed the Edwards vote must have been a mistake, said, "I'm certainly glad the Electoral College isn't separated by one vote."

 

Now we're getting to the good shit.  There were 7 faithless electors in 2016.  Anyone know what Faith Spotted Eagle is up to?
