What happens if there is a 269-269 electoral college tie, 25-25 House delegation tie and 50-50 senate tie?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Possibly. Wasn't he a cnut pre-Kardashian though anyway? I can't remember tbh.
Mike Pence chooses the next president if it's 269 each.
I can't remember that well either, but I feel like I would have remembered him being a spectacle like he is now if he was like that before. Open to be proven wrong.
No, the new house delegation chooses the next president if no candidate reaches 270. The new senate chooses the vice president. But what if everything is still tied?
Mike Pence.
Liberia was founded by freed American slaves. That's probably the reason.
Not much talk about Exit Polls, but I see the CNN page linked earlier has a section ready for them. Do they tell us as much in the US as they do over here? I genuinely can't remember what they said in 2016
They'd be fecked, and have to keep deliberating until someone in either the senate or congress cracked.
This year they will be trash. (due to early turnout) - I'd go as far as to say ignore them completely.
I think it comes back to Section 3 of the 20th Amendment:
Section 3. If, at the time fixed for the beginning of the term of the President, the President elect shall have died, the Vice President elect shall become President. If a President shall not have been chosen before the time fixed for the beginning of his term, or if the President elect shall have failed to qualify, then the Vice President elect shall act as President until a President shall have qualified; and the Congress may by law provide for the case wherein neither a President elect nor a Vice President elect shall have qualified, declaring who shall then act as President, or the manner in which one who is to act shall be selected, and such person shall act accordingly until a President or Vice President shall have qualified.
We keep going around until Congress elects a President.
Fair enough, cheers!
Normally they would, but this year its a bit crazy because of all the early/absentee voting. They're trying to correct for it, but I suspect its going to make exit polling kind of worthless this time around. Unless its a landslide.
No, in the US they tend to be used more for understanding the results after they've come in, whereas here they're designed to be predictive.
I wouldn't be surprised.Folks please take the off topic stuff elsewhere.
that's gonna wind up so many twitter bakhts... i can see idols of trump being broken like TV screens after a cricket match.

You can track in real time the vote in Pinellas County - FL here. It’s a swing county Trump carries by 1 point in 2016. (If anyone is sad enough)
I’ll see y’all in 12 hours, hopefully we would be celebrating by then.

Looks like I can bet on Democrats winning the EV by more than 100 points on 3/1 odds. That looks a no-brainer, surely? The 538 model has that as clearly the most likely outcome.
Apparently Hindus for Trump supported komala this time lolzy

Meaning ...?
You are better off betting on Biden ecv values. I've got an averaged 8-1 odds if he wins between 300-400.
Republican early voting in FL is stronger than in other states.
Share da papers when you win thanks

I see. I guess the real key is how those non-affiliated voters voted though right?
This is why the Trump plan to bring manufacturing back is so moronic. Its outdated and a losing proposition.
The US economy needs to transition to local variation that can't be outsourced (food, local goods), services that are worldwide (tech, internet) and sectors that create virtuous circles of economic development (green energy). Not going more sustainable energy has already hurt the US
12th amendment.
Rep’s choose, and though Dems have the house in pure numbers, it’s actually 1 vote per state and in that scenario the GOP currently have more votes ( though I think the actual composition depends on the makeup after the election, not as it currently it).
@Carolina Red: can't be bothered to find the post back (this thread is going really fast now), but could you provide some more info why people living the mountains of NC tend to vote for the Democrats? It is not what I would have expected.

We will have to wait and see what the percentages are for those who actually vote in person today. FL is a strange state to say the least.
Makes sense. Old people afraid of covid voted using early voting methods. Old people swing Republican and Florida is full of them
That's about 2.0 on betfair. Obv if you get 4.0 from somewhere you should go all-in. Are you sure you are looking at +100 and not +200?
House votes repeatedly until they choose the new president. I think they voted 35 times or so until they chose Jefferson (which I think is the only case of this happening, but not sure).
Apologies if I've missed any earlier posts, but any idea when results may start coming in UK time?
I've taken the first half of tomorrow off work but will just log on anyway if Biden takes Florida which I believe is decided quite early.
The perks of WFH.

I got to watch these come in live last time as the time zone helped but am I right in thinking this will come in middle of the night UK time?
I think it would be a good idea to update the thread title with the time when the results start coming in @Raoul @Carolina Red
It's a mad place. Blindboy did a whole podcast on the similarities between pro wrestling and American politics.
