Let's hope none of these scenarios actually occur: Florida 2000: The Sequel - Five ways the election could end up in court, again. By Richard L. Hasen: "jurisprudence The law, lawyers, and the court.

One dude in the Fray posted the following. Can you imagine if Bush was re-elected and Kerry was his Veep? Man, oh man.

"If the electoral college ties 269-269, or if one state simply cannot decide who it elected, then the twelfth amendment sends the election of President to the House voting in state caucuses, where Bush wins. The vice president to the newly elected Senate. There may be 51 or more Democratic senators after this election (especially if Jeffords votes with the democrats). If Bush is going to be President, who do the Democrats choose for vice?
(a) Cheney, since the President should have his choice in the position.
(b) Edwards, since he got half the votes for Vice President.
(c) Kerry, since he got half the votes for President
(d) Some compromise candidate, perhaps McCain
For a bunch of Senators, this will be their very first vote. Some of the Democratic Senators will come from Bush-voting states. interesting . . ."
