Red let loose <| sep |> And you just KNOW plenty of those pyramid builders said among themselves , That haircut on that woman , tho ! DeeLish ! <| sep |> Electors can vote for whoever they like . Even a constitutionally unqualified person ! When the House of Representatives officially certifies the results , if no person has received a simple majority 270 electoral votes , the House must choose from among the three top voted candidates . In theory , a few dozen Trump electors could defect to Jeb ! , keeping Trump under 270 . In that case , the House gets to decide between Clinton , Trump , and Jeb ! . The House vote is by state , not a straight upordown vote . <| sep |> I honestly thought you were walking into the lions cage for a second .
