      Here's mine. I think Trump wins again. I don't want him to. I don't like him. I voted against him. I hope I'm wrong.

          My best guess.

          EDIT: I played around and tweaked it a bit. Here is my revised estimate.

              Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

                      "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

                          I was tempted to put Ohio, Texas, and Iowa on there for fun, but this map is probably closest to the expected outcome, if polls aren't way off.

                                              If it happens there's a slight possibility that we end up with someone reasonable. I think this is the scenario I'm cheering for.

                                              The Constitution is pretty clear on how this plays out. If there is no winner in the Electoral College, Article 2, Section 1, Clause 3 states that the decision goes to the House of Representatives while the Senate picks the vice president. But the voting in the House is different from the Senate. In the vote for vice president, each Senator has one vote. But in the House each state has only one vote for president—regardless of its size—and a presidential candidate needs 26 states to win.

                                              ...

                                              If de Pasquale and Cohn manage to win their races (and Democrats hold what they already have), Democrats will control 25 delegations and Republicans will control 25 delegations.

                                              What if the tied Electoral College race results in a tied race in the House of Representatives? The House keeps voting until someone gets 26 votes. If the House can’t elect a president by Inauguration Day, the person elected vice president by the Senate becomes the acting president until the House manages to select a president.

                                              If the Electoral College is tied, the president will be selected in the House, with each state having only one vote. Which party has the majority of each state's delegation will be key.
