There is another possibility that is even more interesting
academically.

If the popular vote in the various states resulted in a theoretical
269-269 split. one of those electors could go rogue.


Actually there are rumored to be some Ron Paul electors out there. Now
*that* would sell some newspapers, eh?


I just remembered-- It takes 270. So even if somebody got 269 and
the other guy lost some electors, it would go to the house & senate.
