And there’s no tie breaker, either per state or for the overall result. 25/25? No winner, vote again. 25/24 and the last state is tied? No winner, vote again.

In the 1800 election there were 35 identical ballots until they finally made some deal and picked Jefferson.

Edit: and if the Senate is 50/50, which is reasonably could be, and neither can decide before January 20th, Mike Johnson (or Hakeem Jeffries, but lol) becomes acting president.

But I don’t think the House would tie like that. At a glance it seems like Republicans probably have the majority of seats in more than 25 states.

There’s a not unreasonable chance that the presidential election is a tie, based on current polls.

Trump has a few points lead in Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada. That puts him at 268. Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin are much closer. If Biden wins those he’d be at 269. Finally Trump is a couple points up in Nebraska’s second, which would put him also at 269.

I hope that happens, it would probably be the funniest outcome.

The only good part of Breath of the Wild.

I hate Breath of the Wild. It’s not a good game. I tried so many times to like it but it’s just a slog.

Sad we might never get a good Zelda again.

“I stopped by either Morton Williams or by Whole Foods and I would just buy cheese, and I would literally just eat a block of cheese with my hands,” said Cojab, 27, often while sitting on the floor of her Midtown apartment alone in the dark.
“It was the only thing that would make me feel somewhat whole.”
The feta fiend said she devoured an estimated 5.5 blocks of cheese per week, along with savory parmesan crisps she stocked in her pantry.

I understand to an extent. I also love cheese and am empty inside. I’ve eaten too much cheese in one sitting on occasion. But 5 or 6 blocks every week‽

That’s a reasonable assumption, but it was already clearly a problem before the Soviet Union collapsed.

Some of the protestors were waving Azerbaijani flags for some reason, and France went with it.

wtf is going on with Azerbaijan and Kanaky (“New Caledonia”)? Are there some Armenians there that Azerbaijan wants to genocide?
