election by the US House would be a terrible albatross -- asterisk? -- for Biden and Harris to bear, if things ever got that far.
(hilarious article, Laurence Tribe fretting over the possibility of an electoral tie or no clear EC majority in 1980)

It would be horrible in the short term no doubt, but I could see a long term impact if over half the country is suddenly really pissed off about how much is decided based on where arbitrary state borders are drawn.
If the Dems take the senate but lose the presidency in a house vote (which could theoretically happen since North Carolina, Arizona and Montana are all states where the Dem senate candidate is polling better than Biden is), Trump would be about as lame duck as it gets the next 4 years, and the 2022 midterms would be a blue waive skull ing in a year where the map is already bad for Republicans. A supermajority in 2024 could be a real possibility in that scenario, but I'd much rather Trump just lose this year.
in an eerie pincers maneuver, 538 now calls a spoiled election

spoiled? no, just not decided, conceeded by the morning of 4 Nov.

I wonder if the Repug SCOTUS will intervene to re-elect Trash, very probably the PVL again,
like SCOTUS/Scalia elected PVL dubya in 2001?
Trashs' LIE that mail-in votes are fraudlent is exposed by so many red/Confederate states using mail-in ballots
I note the death-cult hole TX has restricted mail-in votes if voter's reason is fear of the pandemic.
Context:
this whole ING ELECTION CATASTROPHE, so like many other catastrophes, sufferings, deaths is due to The Trash-Made Pandemic.

I'm inexplicably still receiving junk snail mail.
I'm sorry that's happening to you.
When does the sabotage kick in?
Isn't this question in itself worrying enough when it comes to Democracy?
Plus, is da zip code in a swing state?
In da zip code? Probably never.
Ok. Thanks
You’re welcome fam. Happy to help.
If you don't understand enough about voting to differentiate between absentee ballots and junk mail, it's really not worth the time to explain it to you.
Do you understand the difference between absentee ballots and universal mail-in voting?
I think we all do. For the USPS, a ballot is a ballot... none of which are the same as junk mail...
I do.
All but a few states are requiring people to apply for mail-in voting in order to get a mail-in ballot, which is identical to the absentee ballot process.
Of the states doing universal mail-in voting where you don’t even need to apply and just get a ballot in the mail, Nevada is the only one that’s not safe for Trump or Biden.
California
Vermont
Washington
Oregon
Utah
Washington DC
Nevada
Colorado
Hawaii
Of those 9 states, Nevada is the only one where one party isn’t heavily favored over the other. Trump doesn’t need any of the other states (except Utah, and he doesn’t need Nevada for that matter) to win, and if any of them (other than Utah) are close, he’s otherwise winning in a landslide). Trump crying about the states that are “mailing ballots to everyone!” Is fear mongering, over 40 states are either requiring people to apply for mail in ballots or are even more restrictive.
Yes. The President you're enthusiastic to vote for doesn't, though.
There is none, in principle.
