My wife told me a statistic that Electoral College Voters have gone against their state 11 times and that because it's not required for them to vote a particular way, the ramifications were only that they weren't selected the next time around. Expect some of that if there's a tie. Romney/Biden 2012...
My daughter found this great video that describes the tie-breaker procedures. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHEDXzOfENI It could be John Boehner, acting president. If that happens, my prediction is that he cries. He's quite an emotional guy... He won't be the only one crying. |

due to electorals deciding not to vote as their state voted..
I did a little research on the electoral college. About half of the states have no rules about how the electoral voters have to vote. However, in almost all states, the parties each select a slate of electors. Electors are generally high ranking officials of the parties or they are selected as a reward for years of service to the party. The slate of the party whose candidate gets the most votes becomes the final electoral voters for that state. About half of the states have requirements as to how the electoral voters are to vote. In most of these states, the electoral votes pledge to vote for their party's candidate. In about half a dozen states, it is a crime for the electors not to vote as they pledged, but it doesn't appear that anyone has ever been prosecuted for violating this rule. In a couple of states, if the elector doesn't vote as he/she is supposed to, their vote is considered null and void and a new elector is appointed. There are no federal laws as to how the electors are to vote, and the Supreme Court has never addressed the validity of the state rules. |

Can you imagine the backlash of somebody switching their vote in a tie race. I think that individual would literally have to go into witness protection. lol |

I would love a recount where a state was once thought to go to one side, ends up switching, and then a few EC members decide not to change their vote and it would be an over all tie at 269. Then the house picks Romney for President and the senate picks Biden as VP. |
