In the interest of maintaining our prime directive here, it's probably best to let this thread die now.

What happens when BOTH parties get 269 votes?

Correct, if it does happen (which it has in the past) it goes before the house for a vote.
But back to the electoral college. It was put into the constitution to protect the small states and give them a say. If there wasn't one the politicans would only campaign in the big cities. But everyone has their opinions. :P

edit: Okay, lets have it die out... :)
