Okay, which electors can we lobby? In 38 states they are apparently bound to go with winner-take-all, so my question is, which are the remaining states?
It's not that it's a tie, but that no one got a majority. In 1824, Andrew Jackson won both the popular and electoral vote, but since there were four candidates, the house had to decide, and they chose John Quincy Adams (another son of a one-term president). However, the difference back then is that John Quincy Adams was a patriot who believed in the rule of law, and Andrew Jackson did things like forced-march the entire Cherokee nation into Oklahoma, even though the Supreme Court specifically said he wasn't allowed to.
