Title: Re: Gotta LOVE Missouri ! Post by: Lunar on November 04, 2008, 05:21:11 AM What would happen if the actual votes resulted in a tie?

Seriously though, Missouri is almost always like this...basically a turnout game between St. Louis/Kansas City and the rest. I think St. Louis will win this year...:) Title: Re: Gotta LOVE Missouri !

I guess there must be a provision in each state's constitution for this - perhaps the Governor gets a deciding vote, or the state's legislature, or they split the electors?
