Unlikely but possible.
If so, who wins the election, and why?
Is that resuly, in your eyes, "fair"? Why or why not?
I'm less interested with "fair" and more interested with removing Obama because he shouldn't have been elected in the first place. So, as long as Obama loses, then yes it's fair, if that's the lip-service many need to hear. Whatever it takes. Whatever rule needs to be broken, whatever lie needs to be told, as long as Obama is removed from office it's all justified.Unlikely but possible.

Correct me if I am wrong... the house votes on both.Well Romney wins, and Biden stays VP because the makeup of the Senate is probably not going to switch...

With that definition of fairness in mind.... if Romney wins the popular vote and Obama wins the EC, you'll argue that Romney should be President?No, it's not fair. The president should be elected by a popular vote, period.

Roger that.You are wrong. The Senate picks the VP.
Good point there.In that unlikely event, I'm really not sure what the Senate would do, since it has no (recent) historical precedent. Even though the Democrats control the Senate, my guess is that they'd vote to give Romney the VP he wanted.
When have I ever tried to hide them :2wave:Thanks for showing us your colors.
Just curious...I'll argue that Romney should HAVE been elected president, if he wins the popular vote. But I won't argue that the election is illegitimate under the system we currently have in place.
Just curious...
92/96 election: No one carried a majority of the popular vote. When the majority of the people vote for someone else, who wins - and why?
I doubt a tie will happen nor do i think the popular vote winner will lose the electoral vote.

Even though the majority voted for someone else?Ideally I think there should be a runoff election between the top two vote-getters, if no one has a majority. But in the absence of that, I'd be OK with a mere plurality popular vote. It'd still be better than the electoral college IMO.
