Ik hoop echt dat we vandaag de uitslag te horen krijgen. Zit nu al drie dagen het hele feestje te volgen, maar wat mij betreft horen we vandaag dat Biden gewonnen heeft en dat Trump en z'n cult weg gaan. Vooral die enge familie mee. Stel talentloze, onnozele profiteurs

Zal om PA gaan. Georgia zal nog dagenlang, misschien wekenlang too close to call zijn totdat b.v. overseas ballots geteld zijn. AZ tellen ze nog langzamer dan mijn dochter van 3.
Als de PA trend doorzet dan kan die staat richting dezelfde marges als MI gaan en dan kan die gecalled worden vanavond laat misschien.
Allebei fout. Het ligt complex. Dit is een ouder artikel maar met de kennis van vandaag over Huis en Senaat is dit niet een goed scenario voor Biden.
So the Constitution gives the House of Representatives the authority to choose a president—but not by a simple majority vote. Rather, each state’s delegation casts a single vote. Support from a majority of the states—that is, 26—is needed to select the winner. Of course, each state’s delegation would have to calculate how to cast its vote, but it is a near-sure thing that the partisan identity of the legislators would be key.
There’s the rub, and the key to the importance of a set of House races. Right now, despite the Democrats having a comfortable majority of seats in the House, the Republicans have a majority of states—26, to be exact. The delegations from two states are deadlocked. (One of those two deserves an asterisk: Michigan went from a 7–7 tie to 7–6–1 for Democrats with the move of Representative Justin Amash, who’s called for impeachment proceedings against President Trump, to independent status.)
In several of the states, the majority is slim, and if a single congressional seat changes hands, it could change the majority or create a deadlock. That’s true of Republican states such as Florida, whose delegation splits 14–13, and Wisconsin, 5–3; it’s also true of Democratic ones such as Colorado, now 4–3; Arizona, 5–4; Minnesota, 5–3; and Iowa, 3–1. * Then there are states with a single member, such as Montana and Alaska, with one Republican apiece, and states with just two representatives, such as Hawaii, New Hampshire, and Maine, where one switch could create a deadlock.
Not surprisingly, Democrats will have many vulnerable House seats in 2020, after winning a slew of seats in red and purple districts in 2018. But some of those seats may prove more consequential than others. For Democrats, the challenge first is to maintain their majority in states such as Iowa, where three Democratic seats are toss-ups, and Virginia, where two fit that category, as well as single seats in Maine, New Hampshire, and Michigan.
