November Surprise: A Tie in the Electoral College? Here’s What It Would Mean | Facts Matter

So let’s go through the details of what a tie in the electoral college system would look like, what would happen afterward, and what Republicans, Democrats, and RFK Jr. are doing to hedge their bets. Join host Roman Balmakov on this week’s episode of “Facts Matter.”
