The 2024 election will more likely be decided by the Democratic candidate winning the election by a 277-261 EC margin. In several states, election results will be challenged by the GOP and the challenges will reach the Supreme Court, where they agree to throw out the election results in Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania (where the Democratic candidate won) and force them to send competitive slates of electors to Congress. The GOP-controlled House would decide to take the slates from the ones picked by the GOP-controlled state legislatures instead of the Democratic governors, with the Senate rejecting it despite having a GOP majority (too few votes to affirm the overturning). The votes from all 4 states are thrown out, resulting in a narrow majority win for the Democratic candidate that is challenged in the Supreme Court, which delares the Electoral Count Act of 1887 unconstitutional and sends the election to the House, where each state gets one vote. This is how the GOP candidate wins the 2024 election despite losing both the popular and electoral votes.
