What if both Trump and Clinton don't get 270, but Johnson wins some state? Just imagine the levels of butt hurt there would be if that guy ends up being president due to congress or however someone is selected when nobody reaches 270.

Electors don't actually meet until like December to cast their ballots in the Electoral College. Since only like half of the US states have laws requiring electors to vote in the way their district won, it could be solved by someone just saying "nah" and voting the opposite way.

If that didn't happen, Congress would meet in January to count the votes (just like they do for every election, regardless), and if nobody has 270, then each state's delegation gets a vote toward president. From there, the winner would only need a simple majority (26).

Also goofery with the Vice President, but basically, Johnson wouldn't get the presidency like that unless parties just decided to stop supporting the face of their parties.

Wasn't expecting Georgia to be so close tbh.

Atlanta is a growing powerhouse for Dems. And the Trump campaign has struggled there,  like in Arizona, with minorities.

Bad sign if it stays close

I know that it's supposed to be a blue  state by 2024, but I was still expecting Trump to win by 5-8% in the meantime.

He's doing it

No he isn't

Yawn.

He's doing it

He's winning the bumfuck Bible belt states, not the least bit surprising.

If he wins Florida, it's going to get interesting.

Who's going to win Ohio

Prediction map, just for reference. No surprises so far.
