[QUOTE="sprknjc, post: 77559627, member: 454221"] Thanks for your historical insights. Anybody's guess if we have problems with the Electoral College again in 2024 with the election so divided. In 2016 Trump won the electoral vote, but Hillary won the popular vote by 2.8 million votes. In 2020, Biden clearly won the popular vote nationwide by millions, and also the electoral vote (306, 270 needed). However, Trump then came within 160K votes of winning the electoral vote if he had won the popular vote in Arizona (11K - 11 electoral votes), Georgia (12K - 16 electoral votes), Wisconsin (20K - 10 electoral votes), Nevada (34K - 6 electoral votes), and Pennsylvania (79K - 20 electoral votes) which then resulted in the election interference case in Georgia and the riot at the Capitol when the electoral votes were counted. If a similar, but hopefully not as violent, situation occurs in 2024/early 2025, hope Congress will rethink the Electoral College if we have the right people in power. In comparison to 1790, today not so much less educated little people, many rural then, nor slavery, so a Constitutional amendment may be in order. It will be interesting if Haley and DeSantis end up running as 3rd party candidates, Biden is declared incapable with mental issues, and Trump is convicted before the general election, but both get their major party nominations over the summer. Wonder how the Electoral College will play out in that situation? There are historical instances where 3rd party candidates received electoral votes [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_third-party_and_independent_performances_in_United_States_elections']List of third-party and independent performances in United States elections - Wikipedia[/URL] .
