We snuck up behind an inky wretch in the office the other day and he was at his computer, using some political website to turn pink states to red and red states to purple, mixin ’ and matchin’, in order to arrange it so that both nominees got exactly 269 electoral votes apiece, which would leave the presidential race a tie and throw it into the House of Representatives, God save America. “Wouldn’t that be great ?” he asked. He seemed serious.

We responded by not strangling him right then and there. Self-control often gets the better of us.
