Here's some discussions from my online gov't class.
One girl posted this:
"CNN posted this today:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- A freak tie result in the U.S. presidential election could mean
the House of Representatives would choose the next president, a scenario that would
favor Republican incumbent Bush.
But since the Senate would decide the vice presidency, Bush could end up with Democrat
John Edwards.
If you thought the close 2000 presidential election was a mess, think about what could
happen if the 2004 contest ended up as an Electoral College tie.
There's an outside chance of a tie because of the way the United States elects its
president. Voters in 50 states and the District of Columbia select 538 representatives to
the Electoral College. A winner needs 270 votes.
Would having a Republican Pres. and Democratic VP. such a bad idea???"
Here's my reply
"Interesting...but ain't gonna happen!
45 states!!!!!!
