re: #76 Scottish Dragon

I did not know this:

So it has already been given a test run. Fuck me.

electoral-vote.com

That was a slightly unique situation where Florida was facing the prospect of having no electoral votes. There’s also Section 2 of the 14th Amendment that could come into play:

Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State.

I’m not sure that provision has ever actually been tested, but it could come into play.
