House Could Pick Our Next President

'The Daily Beast'- "If no general election candidate receives a majority of the electoral votes—270—the Constitution requires that the House of Representatives will elect the president.. each state would receive one vote regardless of population.. Thirty-two state delegations are controlled by Republicans, 15 by Democrats,"

I almost found this too hard to believe until I verified it. 'House.gov'-- "In the case of an Electoral College deadlock or if no candidate receives the majority of votes, a “contingent election” is held. The election of the President goes to the House of Representatives. Each state delegation casts one vote for one of the top three contenders to determine a winner. Only two Presidential elections (1800 and 1824) have been decided in the House."

What if Donald Trump got the boot and ran as a independent. Then suppose Bernie Sanders got a number of write in votes if he was not the nominee. It would be possible then it could pave the way for members of the house to appoint our next president. Even if two out of three were Democrats or had higher vote counts a Republican could still be appointed.

This falls under The 12th Amendment. It goes on to say, "If the House of Representatives shall not choose a President whenever the right of choice shall devolve upon them, before the fourth day of March next following, then the Vice-President shall act as President."

I Did Not Know This
I wonder how many other voters didn't know this either. If you think people are already ticked off with delegate and electoral counts imagine how this would play out with today's crowd.
