Diane Said:

In a general election, what happens when none of the candidates receive enough electoral votes?

We Answered:

The representatives in the House from each state gather, and each state holds a vote amongst its representatives. Regardless of whether a state has one or thirty representatives, each state is given one vote. If a state is divided evenly by its representatives, the state vote is considered to abstain.

Thus, there will be fifty votes possibly cast. One state, one vote. If a candidate reaches 26 or more votes, they are then considered elected. Should no candidate obtain 26 votes, there will be a re-vote amongst the representatives until a winner is chosen.

It's a very arcane system, last employed in 1825.

Annie Said:

If Obama and Romney are the candidates in the General election will either one favor securing the border?

NO. They don't care what the American people want.

EDIT: Romney uses illegal alien lawn care.

Kay Said:

In the general election, will the candidates' choice of running mate affect your vote? If so, how much?

We Answered:

It may affect my vote in that it would show how much judgement and thought he puts into things. I dont know if it would affect me to vote for the other guy, but it may keep me from voting at all.
