Worst case scenario

[prodigitalson]

Biden gets 271

[Hoyt]

1. At this point, I'd be happy with that.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. It's enough to win but I worry about faithless electors.

[prodigitalson]

21. I think most states prohibit that

But that could certainly be a factor.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

23. Most do, and it would be unlikely if one went rogue, but everything is weird now.

[58Sunliner]

3. Lord I hope so.

[dweller]

4. I can live

with a Blue trickle ...

✌🏻

[AlexSFCA]

5. I'll take 270!

[Polybius]

8. Then we lose

There's a near-guarantee we get one Faithless Elector.

[TwilightZone]

18. No, there's zero chance of that happening.

If it's 270-268, no one will switch.

[Polybius]

19. Zero?

First off there is never a 0% chance of anything. Second, we had like 8 Faithless Electors in 2016.

[exboyfil]

6. You assume WI

I don't know if the 15% outstanding is right, but, if it is, Biden will need 60% of the remaining vote.

[prodigitalson]

9. I am counting WI in our column.

Trump was expected to win the election day vote.

[Polybius]

7. Oh it can get a lot worse than that

Let's hope it won't.

[prodigitalson]

10. Of course. Anything is possible. But

if I'm looking at these numbers and I'm for Trump, I'm having a hard time seeing how my guy gets over 269.

[Polybius]

11. 269-269 Trump wins

It goes to State House delegations, and Republicans control them. Then the Senate votes for the VP.

[prodigitalson]

13. If that happened and Biden won the popular vote

we are in for troubled times.

[Polybius]

15. Even if the House Delegations voted for Biden...

The Senate would vote for Pence. They pick the VP.

[prodigitalson]

16. What a mess. nt

[Polybius]

17. It would certainly be interesting

And at 78 (soon) I'd be a nervous wreck with Pence as VP.

[Diraven]

12. 244

That's my prediction, unfortunately.

[prodigitalson]

14. Do you have him losing

MI, AZ, or WI?

[Celerity]

20. I think you mean 270

[prodigitalson]

22. Can Biden not get all of Maine? nt

[Celerity]

24. no, he will lose ME-2, Rump is pulling away, and it carried Collins to a likely win

[prodigitalson]

25. Kicked for I told you so nt
