Ahem.  I wish some people would be serious here.


This article from exactly 53 years ago shows the state of affairs after the 1960 election. 

Kennedy, in fact, did not get the electoral votes of the unpledged electors: they went to Senator Harry F. Byrd.  Therefore, a shift of a state or two might have deadlocked the election.
(I was researching this some time ago.)
