2028 United States Presidential Election (Yooper101)

2029 contingent election
The Republican-controlled House of Representatives meant that the presidential result was already known days before the count. DeSantis was elected by 27/50 House delegations, with Harris getting 23/50. If a plain vote was done instead of a vote by delegation, it would have been more a margin of 26/50 to 24/50, but the House’s uneven district sizes widened DeSantis’ lead.

A representative in Texas voted for Elon Musk but as Musk did not fit the criteria required to become president of the United States the vote was discounted.
