  • Electoral College Tie Still Possible
  • Stupid Election Rules
    • ]]>     Did you know that it’s possible to tie the Presidential election?

    The Presidential election is decided by Electoral College votes which are distributed among the fifty states roughly by population – California gets lots, Delaware not so much. There are 538 electoral college votes up for grabs – and they way they are distributed makes it entirely possible that the election could end in a tie! Using the LA Times interactive Electoral College map (hat tip) it’s clear that not only is it possible – it’s really not much of a stretch.

    What are the odds of this happening?
