Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has officially informed her Democratic Party caucus that the House of Representatives could decide the presidential election — and has urged them to focus on winning races that could decide the outcome.
The House could decide the election if no candidate achieves a majority in the Electoral College.
As Breitbart News explained three weeks ago, in “How Pelosi’s House of Representatives Could Re-elect Trump“:
It seems almost certain that neither party will accept a close result in the presidential election on November 3. And given the likely delays due to vote-by-mail, recounts, and legal challenges, it is possible neither President Donald Trump nor former Vice President Joe Biden will have an Electoral College majority by December 14, when the Electors cast their votes.
The election will then be decided by the House of Representatives, as indicated by the 12th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. (It has happened before, in 1800 and 1824.)
The 12th Amendment states that “if no person have such majority [in the Electoral College], then from the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President.”
The word “immediately” means that the current Congress would choose. That, in turn, would seem to mean Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and the majority Democrats would prevail, and pick Biden.
Not so fast: The 12th Amendment goes further. “But in choosing the President,” it says, “the votes shall be taken by states, the representation from each state having one vote” [emphasis added].
While there are 435 representatives, there will only be 50 votes. And a current tally of representatives in each state shows that there are more Republican-majority delegations than Democrat-majority delegations. Republicans control 26 delegations; Democrats dominate 22; Pennsylvania is tied and Democrats have a 7-6 Michigan plurality.
Pelosi has done the math, and expects the new Congress to handle the presidential election — if it comes to that.
Therefore, she has told Democrats to focus their resources on winning in states where Republicans only control a slim majority of seats.

Maybe all those vulnerable Dem Congressmen should go to the Dem Governors of their state and say "KNOCK OFF THE DAMNED COVID LOCKDOWNS, YOU MORON!!!"
So Princess Nan, the Diaper Dowager, plans to stall the actual election results to gain control of the Oval office through seccession, HOPING the House will then vote at two Reps. per state to elect Democrat Biden, IF election results swing enough wobbler states to turn Democrat? Meanwhile, she intends further stalling a SCOTUS nomination until after innaugeration, IF the actual election results are contested, which both Nan and her goon Schumer have declared they will do??
And we are all expected to simply stand by, watch and accept this Alinsky fantasized nightmare???
This is truly Hitlerian dementia set in bunkeresque drama.
I fear someone will dispatch her in the National interest.
I have not even mentioned the American version of the Chinese "Great Leap Forward" anarchy being perpetrated by Burning Looting Marauders and Antifa.fascists.
If I had been told all this instead of seeing it unfold, I would have said it was one giant hallucination.
They really plan to just steamroll over us hell or high water? They can all go to hell!!!
We have to admit that it is very hard to run against a guy like Trump. He is a born winner, a very successful business man, a guy who gets things done. Today Americans can see how great he has made America again after we endured chaos, riots, and fiscal disarray under obummer. They will give Trump a landslide victory in November and they will give Republicans a majority in both chambers of Congress again. Trump lifts all Republican boats. Crazy Nancy can stomp her feet as much as she wants but Trump will get another four years in the White House.
Please God ... I hope you are right.
These people just can't let go of their hatred for our President. Crazy Nancy needs to go ASAP!
If not sooner.
The Socialist Party just can't accept President Trump so as a Vietnam veteran I asked you stand up for our flag stand up for Freedom and most of all stand up for all the man and women who gave their lives defending your freedom. I'm old but I gladly stand with you and defend the flag because it still stand for Freedom and I am proud to be an American
God Bless you Lorenzo.
God bless you! As a naturalized citizen from a former communist country, I agree with you whole heartedly. God bless America and our great President!
