If no one voted, the Electoral college would not seat delegates, it would be a tie, and then congress would decide the President ... Obama would win.Hurricane2k9 wrote:

Well technically there's an odd number in Congress, but if there is a tie.

The House reserves roll call votes for the most formal matters, as a roll-call of all 435 representatives takes quite some time; normally, members vote by electronic device. In the case of a tie, the motion in question fails. In the Senate, the Vice President may (if present) cast the tiebreaking vote.

The House just keeps voting until a candidate gets the majority ...Hurricane2k9 wrote:

Congressmen eventually die ... when that happens, viola, a majority. Of course, your next question would be "What if a bomb blows up the Capitol and kills all the congressmen?"Hurricane2k9 wrote:

Well, in that case, the states would need to elect new representatives to fill the vacated terms.
(I should also mention that this process can only go on through about 2019, at which time China will have taken over the US).
then the physical world as we know it will collapse in on itself and we will all seize to exist.Hurricane2k9 wrote:

For some reason I think Palin would be very enthusiastic to place her uneducated vote if this ever happened.Goven wrote:

Ironic that you would call Palin uneducated, yet assume that she would be the one voting ... (*cough* Cheney *cough*)The#1Spot wrote:
