not a single person voted for a President in the whole country! I know this will never happen, but for the sake of it what would happen??

including electoral? or just the public? everything like if the country just stopped voting! What would happen? Is there a law for such a event if it happened?

it would come down to the age old tactic of deciding a winner... Rock, Paper, Scissors, best 2 out of 3

I would think the government would take over in that case. If no one will vote around the country, the government would be forced to put in a ballot. Unfortunately, the country will suffer to whom ever the government chooses.

I ask because most of the people I know don't vote in my neighborhood. It is only 50% of the nation (not sure exact numbers each year - google it to find out) that vote. So this means anywhere from 175 million or more don't vote!

Congress would decide... Do you really want that. They can't even decide HOW to vote on something without a 6 month commitee vetting the rules.

I watched recount with Kevin Spacey on the Gore and Bush presidential race in 2000 and found it compelling on how the Supreme Court (majority Republican Elected) decided to stop the recount in Florida and elect Bush for president. so it led to that question later on.

I saw busloads of students entering Ohio from the W.V. border during the week when you could vote and register at the same time. What election? Its all a crock.
