My brother over on his blog has put forth the scenario of the Democrats having both Obama and Clinton running in the general election, preventing a majority in the Electoral College, thereby throwing the election into the House of Representatives.
How wild would that be? But according to the 12th Amendment, each state’s delegation gets one vote:
But in choosing the President, the votes shall be taken by states, the representation from each state having one vote; a quorum for this purpose shall consist of a member or members from two-thirds of the states, and a majority of all the states shall be necessary to a choice….
So the sole Alaskan rep’s vote counts the same as all the Califronia reps. Would delegations vote the way their state voted, or split along party lines? How would the Democrats choose which candidate to back? Huge can of worms…fun to contemplate.
