In reference to my post yesterday about a possible Electoral Vote tie, here’s a breakdown of the membership of the House of Representatives by state and party.
Based on the current makeup of the house, this is how things stand
- Majority Republican Delegations — 21
Of these, two (Delaware and Michigan) are in states that are either strongly Democratic at the Presidential level, or lean Democratic. Realistically, can anyone see Delaware’s single representative defying the will of his constituents and voting for the Republican candidate ?
- Majority Democratic Delegations — 27
Of these eight delegations (Arkansas, Colorado, Mississippi, North Carolina, North Dakota, South Carolina, Tennessee, West Virginia) are in states that are either strongly Republican or leaning to weak Republican.
- No Party Majority — 2
In the present Congress Arizona and Kansas, both strong Republican states, have evenly divided delegations.
Some of this could change after November, of course, but, as things stand right now, a 12th Amendment scenario looks like it could be a partisan train wreck.
