What if it's a tie?

There's a possibility that there could be a tie tonight, after this whole election crap is over.

The only thing that has to happen are 5 different scenarios that would cause the electoral vote to be 269-269.

You would think in a country this big, we would have an odd number of electoral votes so this kind of thing wasn't even a possibility. (Not that it is a realistic possibility now anyway, for this election).

So what happens when there's a tie? The House of Representatives breaks the tie. I find it odd how f-ed up the whole thing is. In theory, it's a good idea, sorta. It doesn't really cater to the "people" as it does to the "intelligent people". I mean, technically, the electoral college doesn't have to vote with what the states go with. If the college guy feels as though the elected candidate is a complete moron or demon possessed, he can "protect" the "people" by casting the electoral vote to the "smarter" more "heavenly" person. I don't know if this has ever happened and I'm too lazy to look it up, but just be aware.

So go vote. Watch the election. Drink beer. And have fun. Tonight history is made. On a Tuesday.

You never know, tomorrow there could be a riot.
At least the headlines will be laden with murders, assaults, car crashes, and affairs again, instead of just McCain, Palin, and Obama.
