Well.... McMullan is arguably better than the other two. From: Adam Moffett Sent: Thursday, October 20, 2016 10:11 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT News from Utah
Yeah...I reread that part in the constitution just now. It does say the top 3. ------ Original Message ------ From: "Mathew Howard" <[email protected]> To: "af" <[email protected]> Sent: 10/20/2016 12:05:43 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT News from Utah If I understand the system right, if there's no majority, congress has to pick from the candidates with the top three most electoral votes (and there would only be three in that scenario) ... my guess is that, in that case (depending on what the new congress looks like), there would be a pretty good chance of ending up with Hillary anyway, but there would be a slight chance they'd all compromise on McMullin.

Unfortunately I think Clinton will win by a landslide because people are stuck in this mentality where we have to pick a winning horse rather than voting for what we really want. It can still work out if Trump can rally a little bit and get back to being tied with Clinton. Then we can have a split, no majority for anyone, and Congress can pick a non-awful president. ------ Original Message ------ From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: 10/20/2016 11:41:56 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT News from Utah I think he has more presidential qualifications than Trump does. And if my a miracle we can prevent 270 for Hillary then the House of Representatives get to pick the president. And I doubt they will pick Trump. So in that respect, Utah is saving the nation...

Now they will vote for a nobody, and truly look like they are crazy.
