Seriously , it seems he ' s been making time for everything except the new Tool album . <| sep |> Note that ' s it also the case that if getting a minority percentage of the vote in a small number of states would result in electoral votes being awarded , you ' d have a large number of local candidates running just to get a few percent of the electoral votes apiece , denying any candidate a majority . This is idiotic . First off she got over 48 % of the vote . Second off no the third party candidates don ' t get that many electoral votes . They ' re spread out across each state to thinly to demand that many votes . Jill Stein got 1 % but that doesn ' t allow her to get 1 % of all EC votes she only gets a vote in California where she got enough votes to nab one elector . Gary did a little better . And you say I throw chaff . The analysis was correct she gets 269 . And they would have selected Trump . Yea that ' s where you ' re leap in logic occurs . First off they need to officially vote to confirm a minority before they moved on to allow the states to choose . There ' s nothing stopping the Jill Stein defector to make it 270 then there are the courts then if all of that failed you would have your state ' s decide . And with how off the wall Trump was and in the face of having fewer EC votes and popular votes you ' re insane at that point if they elected Trump again right now there are protests you ' d have riots and they would likely just allow Hillary to take office for a smoother transition while asking for some political concessions . That ' s a reasonable conclusions not them shoe horning Trump into office .
