Anons, wtf with this stunt? Yahoo copied the "story" from CNN.

What happens if there’s a tie in 2024? Be ready for a ‘contingent election’

"With two presidential candidates fighting over a mere 538 Electoral College votes, a tie scenario is more than possible. It’s actually kind of surprising there has only been one tied election so far, in 1800, between Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr.

That tie was the result of a failure of coordination by Democratic-Republicans, but it led to the nation’s first “contingent election,” decided in the House of Representatives.

Could a tie actually happen this year?

Yes. While a tie is not a likely outcome, it is something to be ready for."

History-professor anon here. Technically, anon is correct–in the sense that when the FFathers discussed religion and the govt's intrusion into it, the funding of it, etc., they were invariably referring to different denominations of Christianity.

Don't forget that the Battle of Vienna had happened less than a century earlier, saving Europe from a total Muslim invasion. NO WAY that Jefferson and Co. were thinking that religious freeom would apply to Muslims (of which there were none in the US at the time).

All that said … good luck getting any court to agree with anon's final statement, that non-Christian religions are not protected by the First Amendment.
