Default Re: What happens if...

That is unlikely given that the majority of states have Republican representation. The Democrat states are more populous, but that's not how they vote it, it is by state, just as fucked up as the Electoral College. So, it is still possible that Kerry wins a majority of the votes nationwide, ends up tied in the Electoral votes and then loses to Bush in the House, even if by chance Democrats are in the majority there. However, the Senate votes by simple majority for Veep, so if Dems control it, Edwards could win. We sure wouldn't want a tie there too, because Cheney, being President of the Senate would cast the tie-breaker. Imagine him not voting for himself.
