What happens if no candidate reaches 270 electoral votes?

Answer 1

If no candidate receives a majority of electoral votes, the Twelfth Amendment of the United State Constitution provides that the U.S. House of Representatives will select the president, with each of the fifty state delegations casting one vote, and the U.S. Senate will select the vice-president.

Answer 2

If no candidate receives a majority of electoral votes, the Twelfth Amendment of the United States Constitution provides that the U.S. House of Representatives will select the president, with each of the fifty state delegations casting one vote, and the U.S. Senate will select the vice-president.

Answer 3

If the race is so close that neither win the majority of 270 electoral votes required, this would throw the election to the House to choose.
If Clinton and Trump were to tie in the Electoral College and deadlock in the House of Representatives, the U.S. Senate would then choose between Vice Presidential nominees Tim Kaine and Mike Pence.
If the Senate also deadlocks—the unlikeliest of unlikely scenarios—then the presidency would go to the next person in line, the Speaker of the House, currently Paul Ryan.
Actually there are around 126 ways this all could go.

Answer 4

The House of Representatives chooses. Each State's delegation gets one vote and a candidate must have a majority to win. They must cast their votes among the top 3 vote-getters.

Answer 5

If neither candidate reaches 270, it goes to the House.

Answer 6

It goes to the house for a decision.
