It's definitely better than Biden with 306 EC votes.

And what are we going to do when they sit on their hands? They have less than two weeks. WTF are they waiting for? Are we going to have to give them some incentive to do what is right?

If they sit on their hands long enough, they run out of time and then things get even more favorable for us.

37 states are red.... 1 vote per state. First to get to 26 is elected.

That is in the event of a tie when it goes to the house. They get 1 per congressman per state, so 3 for the smallest, average of 10.7 votes, and three for DC.

Congress technically selects, or directs the manner of selecting, the ones of DC.

They also have no senators.

The 23rd amendment grants them either(whichever is lower):

a)The amount that the smallest state has

b)An amount equivalent to the number of congress seats they would have if a state based on DCs population

A number of electors of President and Vice President equal to the whole number of Senators and Representatives in Congress to which the District would be entitled if it were a State, but in no event more than the least populous State

And the VP has the power to dismiss electors in a split senate.
