Are you ready for Devilâs Night?
You read that right: In some parts of the country, the night before Halloween is called âDevilâs Night,â âMischief Night,â or âGate Night.â Itâs a night for adolescent pranks, vandalism andâif youâre wondering why âGate Nightââwhen the gates of Hell open to let unruly souls run wild in our mortal plane.
So we thought tonight was the night to let our unruly nightmares run wild. One of our spookiest right now: What if the Electoral College is tied or chaos in the states means neither candidate gets to 270?
Weâve broken this down for you before, but in case you need a refresher: If the Electoral College is tied, the House will vote by delegationâ50 votesâto pick the president. And right now, Republicans control 26 House delegations. The good news is that itâs the next Congress that will vote.
Letâs make sure we can push our nightmaresâand our national nightmareâback through the gates of hell on November 3.
