Talk:United States Presidential Recall Election, 2010 (New England Secession)

270 electoral votes
This one line in the article, stating that Kucinich will be the last president to get over 270 electoral votes, is either wrong or insignificant. If all those states did seceed, then one of the following two things would happen: The number 270 isn't specifically important, it is just the current number needed to have a majority. If Puerto Rico joined the US tomorrow, the number would just raise up 1, not stay the same. LurkerLordB 23:51, April 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) The 107 electoral votes would be redistricted and given to the other states
 * 2) The 107 would be lost, but the number needed to win would be lowered to 216
