This particular outcome of the crazyquilt electoral college signifies that if the Democratic nominee carries Omaha then he has 270 and is elected president.
If Joe Biden can find a Democrat who is popular in eastern Nebraska that person should be picked as Vice President. I suggest Warren Buffet.
But if Trump wins Omaha the electoral vote is tied and goes to the House of Representatives. In that body each state delegation has one vote.
Of all aspects of the Rube Goldberg election contraption left like an abandoned puzzle on the table by the Framers as they ran from their pandemic (yellow fever), this is the least well-reasoned.
The delegations are those composed by the November election. If the coronavirus stays concentrated in Democratic areas, perhaps Republicans and independents will regard the president as a hero. And then his party, so implicated in the astonishing lack of preparation for the first enemy assault on all states in American history, may yet win enough House seats to control the majority of delegations, and thus re-elect the person who now daily evades accountability for America’s tragic lead among nations in virus infections and deaths.
