Best 2 of 3 to win

If Biden flips Arizona and Trump keeps Ohio, as it appears right now, it will be up to Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania.

In that case Pennsylvania alone will not be enough for either candidate, If one of them takes both Michigan and Wisconsin, Pennsylvania becomes moot. If they split, Pennsylvania becomes the brass ring.

Biden wins AZ, MI, and WI; but loses PA and the Omaha Congressional District.

8. If there is a 269 tie, Harris would not be VP

nor is Pence allowed a vote. They would keep voting until 51 Senators vote for the same candidate for VP.

Though unlikely, we could end up with Trump/Harris or Biden/Pence

election day. If so, it is possible that those ballots are in process and not yet part of the count. if so, that is good news for Joe, since he ran up pretty sizeable leads in those ballots.
