We know now that a tie will be decided by the us house of reps. But in the current form, it will not vote for the democrat. It will be by state delegation. Democrats currently have a 2-3 state deficit I think in state delegations, and the new congress would be the decider of the president.
We are close in IA, MI, Mt and probably some others so the chances of that scenario turning in our favor aren't horrible, although we hope that such a scenario does not come up.
In addition the new Senate will be the decider of the Vice President. As chances look favorable to Dems for taking the Senate, it is likely we will come out on top of this too.
Again, we are hoping it never even comes to this, and with the exponentially larger enthusiasm by the left since RBGs death, I see this scenario even less likely to play out.

(86,508 posts)We have one House seat and it's open. The body-slammer is leaving his House seat to run for governor for the third time. Daines was a business partner for a long time so both need to be gone. They are all about everything we shouldn't do. Our candidate for the House lost to the body-slammer by a small margin and she's been nominated to run again.
