Preface: The following post....269-269....is from October 3. God will place whomever he wants into the White House....for whatever purpose that He desires. Right now....today....the projections are that Harris has about 222 electoral votes that appear to be secure....give or take 5....while Trump has about 223 electoral votes that appear secure....once again give or take 5....meaning that Harris needs 48 or thereabouts to win....and Trump needs 47 or thereabouts to win. (each network or political affiliation varies as to these exact numbers) Meanwhile there are ten states right now that are considered tossups....(once again that number varies)....and....there are two states....Nebraska and Maine....that can possibly split their electoral votes....(5 in Nebraska and 2 in Maine.) So....the possibility does exist at least that both candidates could get 269 electoral votes....and thus the post below....(the full post is still there from October 3.) We don't know God's plans....other than judgment is coming....indeed it has already begun....and that Jesus is near in His powerful return. These two candidates are part of that judgement. Would it not be reasonable to pray that if God should grant it....that someone at least humble and somewhat capable person or persons....including the Congress....might be at the helm when the full brunt of the storm arrives? Either way it is God's will that we should want....and mercy upon us for discernment at to what it is.
269-269
Should neither candidate get 270 electoral votes....meaning that each would get 269 electoral votes....the election would go to the House for the President...and the Senate for the Vice President. You may not know this....the individual state delegations then would get one vote....with 26 votes needed to elect a president! The Senators would get one vote each....with 51 votes needed to elect a vice president.
Can you see any Democrat state delegations voting for Trump? I can't. Can you any Republican delegations voting for Harris? I can't. The result would probably be that someone considered a moderate would be chosen. They could even pick a Democrat for one position and a Republican for the other position.
Now there are other problems here.....for instance in some states they do not have laws that electors have to cast their vote according to how the popular vote went....but seriously folks....do you think there would be any individual electors who would take it upon themselves in this contentious culture to do that? I don't. It's one thing to do this as a protest vote....but another to do it and actually decide the president.
Even in this situation....(269-269 and two moderates in the executive office)....all it could possibly do is give us some humble leaders who might seek God's wisdom in the coming storm.
