OK, let's assume that McKinley and Hobart are still the ticket for the Republicans but Bryan runs in 2 tickets: 1 for the Democrats and 1 for the Populists. Under the Democratic line, his VP is Sewall and under the Populist line his VP is Watson. The question is how would the election turn out if Bryan ran under 2 party lines on the ballot (that is: McKinley/Hobart vs Bryan/Sewall vs Bryan/Watson)? Suppose that with fusion voting, Bryan could win a state's electoral votes for Pres but say Hobart wins the electoral votes for VP. What happens? Thanks! Smiley
