John, there's a real chance the House could decide our next President. We'll explain how, but we need to ask you to chip in $5 or whatever you can afford to protect the most vulnerable House Democrats -- the future of our country is on the line.

Pelosi begins mustering Democrats for possible House decision on presidency

Top election experts are warning that Joe Biden and Donald Trump might both fall short of the 270 votes necessary to secure a victory through the Electoral College.

Because of a little-known constitutional provision, this would trigger a contingent election in which the members of the House choose the next President.

If it were a simple floor vote, our Democratic House Majority would be able to elect Joe Biden.

But rather than each member getting one vote, each state gets one vote, decided by the Congresspeople from that state.

Right now, Republicans control a majority of state delegations.

"We have an advantage if we go back to Congress -- does everyone understand that? It's counted one vote per state, so we actually have an advantage." -- Trump

That means it's imperative that we hold and expand our Democratic House Majority this November -- especially in states like Arizona, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada and New Hampshire where we have Frontline Democrats fighting to hold their seats in tight races!

Our vulnerable Frontline Democrats are facing tied polls, Trump-backed challengers, and millions in dark money attack ads. Will you step up and chip in just $5 or more to re-elect House Democrats in the closest races in the country? They could literally be the difference between President Trump and President Biden.
