Right now, you're going to hear today's Bongino brief. And after that, we're going to tell you how to get the brief on your device. Dan Bongino. Welcome to the Bongino brief. I'm Dan Bongino. An electoral college win by Trump and a popular vote loss has me concerned. Why? Not because Trump didn't win. It's an electoral college race. The left might want to look at the Constitution, federalism, you know, that kind of thing. Crack a book.

But an electoral college win with a popular vote loss has me concerned because the left just won't accept it. They say, well, Dan, they have to. They don't have to do anything. If they're willing to go in the streets and cause chaos and use their Stanley McChrystal groups in the Transition Integrity Project and get the media on their side to make you believe Trump didn't win, it makes me really nervous what's going to happen. But what makes me even more nervous is what if there's a tie? You may say that can't happen.

Really? Larry Sabato's Center for Politics, I have this up in the show notes today read this it's by Kyle Kondik who I've spoken to it before he says quote the dreaded 269 to 269 election scenario an update is that possible well as Kyle Kondik explains in his piece, which you should read, if all of the states that are toss-ups go to Trump, and all of these states that are—and by the way, Nebraska and Maine have a—they split. The entire state's electoral college votes are split. They don't go as one. States like Florida, you win Florida, you get all 29. Nebraska and Maine have split out districts. You copy? So if you win Nebraska, you don't get all of their votes if you lose that congressional district. The same thing in Maine. So those

districts, one of them they used to call Obamaha near Omaha because Obama wanted that Nebraska for the first time a Democrat in eons that district could very well go to Biden even in a red state like Nebraska the same thing in Maine where it could go to Trump even though Maine is lean blue or at a minimum purple

if all of the states Biden's expected to win he he wins. And if Trump wins the toss-ups, it'll be a 269-269 tie. How many you need to win? 270. Well, nobody wins. Well, what happens? Well, there is a constitutional process there. More in a minute, but first. If you're in the market for a rifle, shotgun, or revolver, you want to go with the best in the business.

Let's go to a screenshot from the piece where Kyle Kondik lays out what could happen here. He says the latest crystal ball electoral college ratings show how the presidential election could result in this deadlock, 269-269, with neither Biden nor Trump possessing a majority of 270 electoral votes. Well, what happens then? Well, the election, ladies and gentlemen, goes to the House of Representatives. You would say, oh man, we're in trouble. The Democrats run the House of Speaker Pelosi. That's not how it works. Bullet point number two from the piece.

Even though Democrats hold the House majority and remain on track to maintain that majority next year, Republicans actually have and are likely to maintain an edge in a possible electoral college tie-breaking vote. I'll explain this in a second. Don't you worry. All 50 state-level U.S. House delegations get a single vote to break an electoral college tie. Yet the Republicans control 26 delegations, the Democrats hold 23, and one state is split pennsylvania why am i worried about this because ladies and gentlemen if it's a tie you can expect the transition integrity

project the soros aligned groups defeat this info and others to lose their minds and go absolutely crazy and pressure the house of representatives to make sure hasn't happened since john quincy adams by the way where this has gone to the House of Representatives. Remember, there's a tie. That's it. Election goes to the House. If it's 269-269 tie, there's nothing left for you to do. It goes to the House.

The House votes as a state delegation. Follow me here. So the Florida delegation, which has 14 republican house members and 13 democrats we have the majority they vote as one so you would assume they'd vote on party lines florida remember florida's estate gets one vote you tracking me joe so majority republican house members florida's vote would probably who know you get some crazy Republican would go out. I don't think we have that in Florida, but Florida will likely say our vote goes for Trump. That's, of course, if they're not assaulted in the streets by people in these crazy left wing groups that are going to cause chaos after the election.

Of course, there'll be threats like you've never seen. Well, what's the problem here? The House elections happen at the same time in November, but the House will be appointed beforehand. Or even though now Republicans are the majority in 26 of these House delegations, that could change after the election. Why do I bring that up? Because if any of you are thinking, I live in a blue state, California, my vote doesn't matter. Trump's going to lose California. He's going to lose New York. You are looney tunes. He may lose California, New York handily. I don't know what he's going,

but the likelihood of him winning those two states is ridiculously low. But if you think your vote doesn't matter, you're insane. Number one, it does because the popular vote will send the message, especially here, because if we lose it, you can expect street chaos if we lose the popular vote. And secondly,

what about down ballot races? Yeah, they're on the same ticket. Remember? Trump will be at the top, then your Senate race, then your congressional representative. You're not going to vote for them? You realize the people you're not voting for by not showing up to vote because

you live in a blue state. And I'm not saying my audience would do that, but some will. I'm not going to vote. My vote doesn't matter. You realize some of the same people you didn't vote for, if they lose their seats in the house, will now be voting to pick Joe Biden for president. There's nothing you can do about it. No one's telling you that, right? The Democrats are telling their people that. We need to do a better job? The Democrats are telling their people that. We need to do a better job on our part of telling our people that. You better vote them back in the House because they're going to be the ones potentially in a tie picking the next president.
