    Yet another bloc of voters poised to vote against their best interests:

    Here's a plausible 269-269 tie. It's why there was a push in Nebraska earlier this year to make the state winner-take-all.

    There's almost no way the vice president is going to be Vance in this scenario, unless Manchin or Sinema goes rogue, because the Senate vote along part lines would always end up at Walz.

    The bigger question is what happens if there is a tie among states at 50-50, which could happen if the 269-269 map happens, Kamala is down 3 states for a 25-25 tie. Who's to say based on the margins that Nevada, Arizona and either Georgia or NC flip

    The new Congress/Senate votes, not the current one. One vote per state in the House for president. Everyone votes in the Senate for VP.

    And a state’s selection is the. based on a majority vote of its House delegation. They are not bound by who won their home state in November.

    Yes. Which is why it favors Trump/Vance. As crazy as it's been, it might as well end up tied at this point. But it won't.
