And I think DeSantis will get 270, out of 538, which suffices. But if 3 Candidates run, then even 260 or so may be enough - let's say its 260, 250, and 28 seats, or thereabouts, for each of the 3 candidates. It then comes down to the below scenario:
"It takes 270 electoral votes to win the presidency. What if nobody reaches that threshhold?
There are two main scenarios where this could occur. Neither is likely at this time, but fun to think about. The first is a 269-269 tie between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. The 2nd involves one (or more) third party candidates getting enough electoral votes so that neither Clinton or Trump reach 270 ...
If no candidate receives 270 electoral votes, the House of Representatives will pick the president. Each state delegation gets one vote, regardless of the number of congressional districts it has. 26 votes, representing a majority of the states, are required to win."

In other words, if DeSantis does the above, and wins a simple majority of states (26, Trump won 30 in 2016), he wins the Presidency. [[User:NishantXavier|NishantXavier]]<sup>[[User talk:NishantXavier|For Christ the King]]</sup> 12:04, September 30, 2023 (EDT)
