As Donald Trump and Joe Biden race to secure 270 electoral college votes, the possibility of a tie isn’t completely out of the question. So what happens if they do tie?

#Elections2020 #USElections2020
How would a tie occur?

If Trump and Biden both secure 269 of 538 electoral votes, it would be a tie. Otherwise, if a third presidential candidate secured electoral votes that prevented either of the major candidates reaching the 270 vote target.

If you're still wondering what exactly the US Electoral College is, here's a thread to help you understand it a little better:

#Elections2020 #USElections2020
What is the Electoral College?

The Electoral College (EC) is the group of people that elect the United States President and Vice President. When Americans go to the polls, they’re not directly voting for the candidates, but for ‘electors’.
In 1787 the Founding Fathers created it as an alternative to the popular vote. In part to ensure smaller states had a say, but also to appease southern slaveholding states who wanted their population size to be reflected, even though many of those people (slaves) couldn’t vote.
