A lot of would-be American voters claim to strongly dislike their presumed choice for the next POTUS, Hillary vs. Trump. Some are even threatening to vote third-party. But we've been down this road before. Ross Perot made quite a showing in 1992 and less of one in 1996, but in neither case did he earn any electoral votes. The last time that a candidate other than a Republican or Democrat earned a single electoral vote ("earned" is the key word here) was George Wallace in 1968. That was nearly 50 years ago.
Will it finally happen again in 2016? Will a candidate other than the Democratic or Republican nominee earn any electoral votes this November? Or will all 538 EV's be split between just the Republican and Democrat again?
