He ' s actually right . If you have more than two major parties , there ' s a high chance one party doesn ' t hit 270 votes . It ' s constitutionally required that a nominee have over 50 % of the EC votes or the house gets to decide the president . So if you have 3 major candidates and it ends up being something likeA 40 % B 35 % C 25 % The house decides who the president is despite A clearly being the winner . If , for whatever reason , the current house is controlled by members of the same political party as candidate C , there ' s nothing stopping them from selecting C even though they were in last place . <| sep |> Played with someone with that as their steam name yesterday lol <| sep |> I do not get your comment <| sep |> and you know we couldn ' t get much HIGHER
