McMullin Scenario a Last-Ditch Hope for Dismayed Voters

by Jonah Goldberg October 26, 2016 12:00 AM @JonahNRO

The Constitution’s arcane rules give him an admittedly long shot at being our next Chief Executive If you think 2016 will stop being weird come November 8, please look at your calendars: This whole election process actually lasts almost an additional two months beyond then, finally ending (probably) when Congress counts the electoral votes in early January. But just because it’s been a weird year, that doesn’t mean it has to end badly. There’s reason to hope.

Consider independent write-in candidate for president Evan McMullin. He has virtually no chance of winning the election on November 8, but he does have a shot at being chosen as our next president. It’s a long shot. Very long. But if McMullin managed the greatest upset of all time, it would be a very good thing, and not just because so many of us would rather see someone other than Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump in the White House....

I'm not a McMullin fan, but providing just for the information.

He's got my write-in vote in Texas.  He's the only one I can vote for with a clean conscience.
