Gene Honda Civic Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 269-269 -- American people have election stole from them for the second consecutive time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 The only prediction I feel safe in making is that there will be claims of shenanigans on both sides of the ticket, and that the final decision will be delayed again for at least a week or two.

Gene Honda Civic Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 The country would burn to the ground if it is tied at 269. How about this for a scenario then... The results come in 269-269 in the old system, but a Colorado proposition passes, which allows the states to split it votes. Kerry, who would have lost the state in the old system, carries the Denver area and the 2 electoral votes it's worth, giving him a 271-267 victory. How quickly would this result be over turned?

A 269-269 tie goes to a tie breaker. Each state gets one vote, cast in favor of the majority of the state's delegates. They have already decided that Bush would win in that case so Kerry needs 270.

Pale Hose Jon Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 269-269 -- American people have election stole from them for the second consecutive time Then each state in the house gets one vote.

USAF_11F4H Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 Kerry 294 Bush 305 The extra 61 electoral votes coming from Puerto Rico then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackie hayes Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 That map is awfully fun to play around w/. Okay, so if Kerry can get the upset in Texas... I really hope, I it goes the other way, but I think Bush takes Ohio and Florida. 289-249 in favor of Bush. No protests or recounts, it'll be over late Tuesday night. EDIT: One more prediction -- Kerry wins the popular vote, giving us another reason to hate the electoral college -- leads to lots of b****ing about the ec, but again nothing gets done.

mreye Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 I come up with 285 - 253 for Bush. (Maybe we ought to make a list at the end of this thread.) Hint: By "we" I mean "ss2k4" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 I came up with 274-264 for Bush. But that is just a huge guess on my part. There are just way too many states up in the air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MinnesotaSoxFan Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 The country would burn to the ground if it is tied at 269. If the electoral votes are tied, the House of Reps picks a winner. So by hell or high water one guy will get sent home packin'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
