They show how there is a realistic chance there could be a 269-269 tie in the electoral college in November.(Not likely, but very possible) That totally caught me off guard since I know the whole not enough electoral votes, goes to the house, yada yada, but I always thought there'd always have to be a 3rd party who won at least 1 state to make it happen again, I never realized it could tie.
Can you imagine the shit storm that would cause if that happened. And each state gets 1 vote in the House, all of New York's like 29 representatives get the same vote as North Dakota's 1 dude.
