If you thought electoral college victory while losing the popular vote was bad, wait til 2020 comes along and the House of Representives has the responsibility of choosing our next President.

I'm sure there's trillions, but most are very improbable.

These are interesting... A lot of them seem to rely on NE-2, is there any indication that NE-2 is going to vote to the left of the nation in 4 years?

They all relied on NE-02 because they did not consider ME-02 in play, so anything that resulted in 270-268 had to be adjusted with NE-02.  If you consider ME-02 in play and not Safe R, than the number goes up substantially.

Most to least likely:

7>1>3>6>5>8>9>2>4>10

"There's" can be used as a contraction of "there is" or "there are."

I think this is the most likely tie and it doesn't require NE-02.  Rural Dem freefall continues + Florida Cubans abandon the Trump-era GOP for good:

If Maine were to pass the requirement for Presidential candidate to release Tax returns... there are many more viable tie scenarios.

Also... I wish a dem would at least propose a bill that would have the popular vote break a tie... rather than congress.  I can't imagine public support for letting congress come before the popular vote.
