    Watching it the last hour, there not splitting the way Biden needs, he's going to fall short.

    Betting agents still have the same odds for Georgia as they did yesterday.

    The odds on Harris are creeping back up.

    It took thousands to move the prices but it could be anything. Maybe somebody is in big on Biden and are just hedging their bets.



    For those who don't understand the betting exchange it's punters betting against one another, the exchange take a small cut. The presidential market is huge - over 500 million euro matched to date, including numerous million euro stakes.

    Can we stop with this. It's meaningless. It's a betting exchange. No one knows anything.

    People gamble on stuff....

    Looks like Biden will take it by about 5k votes - or something like that.

    He'd need 75/25 split to pull it off, it's not happening.

    Look this is off-topic but your spouting mis-truths. It did not take thousands to move it, the history will show as 1000 euro traded if a 1 euro bet is place on 1000 .0 on the exchange...

    So if the exchange shows 20,000 traded at 1000, that means 20 euro has been backed on it.

    Back on topic.....

    Yes that's exactly what it covers:

    Section 3. If, at the time fixed for the beginning of the term of the President, the President elect shall have died, the Vice President elect shall become President.

    i.e. if at 12 noon on the inauguration day he is dead, Harris gets sworn in. It's very clear.

    that would be pence then?

    ETA: never mind. didnt read that properly. harris it would be

    It couldn't be any clearer. If he dies before inauguration day Harris is sworn in. No ifs or buts.

    He needs roughly 64/36 to win and he is exceeding that margin at the moment.

    He only needs approx 65% of the remaining votes to win the State, not 75%.

If a President shall not have been chosen before the time fixed for the beginning of his term, or if the President elect shall have failed to qualify, then the Vice President elect shall act as President until a President shall have qualified; and the Congress may by law provide for the case wherein neither a President elect nor a Vice President shall have qualified, declaring who shall then act as President, or the manner in which one who is to act shall be selected, and such person shall act accordingly until a President or Vice President shall have qualified.


    As other poster pointed out, if is the EC who elect the president. If he died before EC, then they can elect whomever they want. It would likely be Harris though in that scenario

    Here's the newest conspiracy theory, made up now by me.
    The Dems ran Biden to steal the election so they can sneak Harris in and have not only the first female president but a black female president without having to face the voters. Its all a big ploy.
    You heard it here first Folks

    How is it's lies, 50k votes with a 60/40 split means Trump wins if he's currently ahead by 13.5k
