Candidates who earned delegates, but have since dropped out of the race, can try to push their delegates onto another candidate. At the convention, a first official ballot is cast, which is based primarily on delegates gained from primary and caucus results. A candidate needs to earn 2, delegates on subsequent ballots to win the nomination.
However, having a contested convention is something the Democratic National Committee will do its best to avoid in the coming months. Any dissent and division will likely be positive for President Donald Trump and the Republicans. Title 3 of the United States Code establishes procedures for the Electoral College process and requires that States settle any controversies regarding their electors at least 6 calendar days before the meeting of the electors.
It is up to Congress to determine what to do in the event one or more States cannot meet the statutory deadlines. However, the Constitution does not require that States appoint electors based on the popular vote, so a State may be able to resolve the controversy under State law, appoint electors, and issue a Certificate even if a recount is pending.
Even if a State is unable to resolve a controversy by the statutory deadline, nothing prevents the State from appointing electors. Resolving controversies before the statutory deadline eliminates the potential for one type of challenge during the counting of the votes in Congress.
See 3 U. It is important to remember that the President is not chosen by a national popular vote. The Electoral College vote totals determine the winner, not the statistical plurality or majority a candidate may have in the national popular vote totals.
Electoral votes are awarded on the basis of the popular vote in each state. Note that 48 out of the 50 States award Electoral votes on a winner-takes-all basis as does the District of Columbia. In a multi-candidate race where candidates have strong regional appeal, as in , it is quite possible that a candidate who collects the most votes on a nation-wide basis will not win the electoral vote.
In a two-candidate race, that is less likely to occur. This also occurred in the presidential election, where George W. Bush received fewer popular votes than Albert Gore Jr. Trump received fewer popular votes than Hillary Clinton, but received a majority of electoral votes. In , even though millions more individuals voted for the Democratic candidate than the Republican candidate in CA, PA, and TX if you add the votes from the 3 States , the Democratic party was only awarded the electors appointed in CA.
Because the Republican candidate won the State popular vote in PA and TX, the Republican party was awarded 3 more total electors than the Democratic party. Total - 15,, Democratic votes cast vs 12,, Republican votes cast for the national popular vote, but 55 Democratic electors vs 58 Republican electors appointed based on each State's popular vote.
Each State legislature determines how the electors are allocated to candidates. As of the last election, the District of Columbia and 48 States had a winner-takes-all rule for the Electoral College. Only two States, Nebraska and Maine, did not follow the winner-takes-all rule. Any State legislature could enact legislation that would change how the Governor or Mayor of DC appoints its electors. So, a State legislature could require that its electors vote for a candidate who did not receive a majority of the popular vote in its State.
There is no Constitutional provision or Federal law that requires electors to vote according to the results of the popular vote in their States, so the States may decide to use something other than their State's popular vote results to direct how their electors vote. If no candidate receives a majority of electoral votes, the Presidential election leaves the Electoral College process and moves to Congress.
