Here's something you may not know...
A total of 538 electoral votes. Divide that by two and a presidential election will end in a tie. It's only happened once in American history (1824) but could this be the repeat year? Here's what you may not know.
In the event that two presidential candidates end an election in a tie of 269 votes each, rather than reaching the almighty 271 for the win, the House of Representatives (the incoming Congress of 2013), which will more than likely be heavily populated with Republicans after November 6, will be the sole deciding factor. That's right---I don't think it is the best contingency plan but if a tie does occur it's a good time to be a conservative.
It gets even stranger. The Senate decides who the vice president will be. We could potentially have a Romney/Biden ticket or an Obama/Ryan ticket.
