Let me help analyze this hypothetical electoral scenario step by step, while being mindful that I'm working with electoral college rules as of my last update.
1 Michigan's Electoral Votes:
• Michigan has 15 electoral votes
• In this scenario, with Greens winning 34%, they would win all 15 electoral votes due to the winner-take-all system used in all states except Maine and Nebraska
• Even though the win is with only 34%, this plurality is enough to capture all electoral votes
2 Rest of the Country Scenario: Let's map out a possible distribution:
I'll create a detailed state-by-state scenario that leads to a deadlock. I'll use recent electoral vote allocations and try to create a plausible path based on general voting patterns.
Let's use Scenario 1 where the final tally is: Democrats: 262 Republicans: 261 Greens: 15 (Michigan)
Here's a state-by-state breakdown:
Democratic States (262 EVs):
• California (54)
• New York (28)
• Illinois (19)
• Pennsylvania (19)
• New Jersey (14)
• Virginia (13)
• Washington (12)
• Massachusetts (11)
• Maryland (10)
• Minnesota (10)
• Colorado (10)
• Oregon (8)
• Connecticut (7)
• Nevada (6)
• New Mexico (5)
• New Hampshire (4)
• Rhode Island (4)
• Hawaii (4)
• Delaware (3)
• Vermont (3)
• DC (3)
• Maine (3 of 4 EVs - split electoral votes)
Republican States (261 EVs):
• Texas (40)
• Florida (30)
• Ohio (17)
• Georgia (16)
• North Carolina (16)
• Indiana (11)
• Tennessee (11)
• Missouri (10)
• Arizona (11)
• Wisconsin (10)
• South Carolina (9)
• Alabama (9)
• Kentucky (8)
• Oklahoma (7)
• Iowa (6)
• Arkansas (6)
• Mississippi (6)
• Kansas (6)
• Utah (6)
• Nebraska (4 of 5 EVs - split electoral votes)
• West Virginia (4)
• Idaho (4)
• Montana (4)
• South Dakota (3)
• North Dakota (3)
• Alaska (3)
• Wyoming (3)
• Maine (1 of 4 EVs - split electoral votes)
• Nebraska (1 of 5 EVs - split electoral votes)
Green Party:
• Michigan (15)
In this scenario:
1 Most states follow their typical partisan leanings
2 Maine and Nebraska split their EVs due to their congressional district allocation system
3 Michigan's surprising Green Party victory with 34% of the vote takes its 15 EVs
4 The result falls short of 270 for anyone
• Each state gets one vote
• The House votes from among the top 3 EV recipients
• A majority (26 states) is needed to win
(And then we raise our voices as loud as we can at the House of Representatives that they must not dare vote for either genocide candidate. They will be forced into the position of the responsibility of electing a genocide candidate or a candidate, Green Party candidate Jill Stein, who will end the genocide.)
