A hitch in the Democrat’s “blue wall” plan comes in a red state and it could end the presidential election in a tie that has to be decided by the House of Representatives.

If Democrat presidential candidate and Vice President Kamala Harris were to take the states of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania, and former President Donald Trump secured victories in Nevada, Arizona, North Carolina, and Georgia then the election would center around one tiny section near Omaha, Nebraska worth one electoral vote.

If the former president got it there would be a 269 – 269 tie, and if the vice president got it she would have the 270 electoral votes needed exactly.

In that scenario, the House of Representatives, which is currently controlled by Republicans by a razor thin margin, would decide the next President of the United States.

It was something CNN reporter Jeff Zeleny spoke about this week when he described the important “blue dot.”

“For all the talk of the ‘blue wall’ of winning Pennsylvania, winning Michigan, and winning Wisconsin. All those are essential for winning the White House, but that leaves you one electoral vote short,” he said.

“If everything else would stay the same and the Harris campaign would win the ‘blue wall’ states, they still need the ‘blue dot.’ The ‘blue dot’ is found right here in Omaha, at least Democrats hope it will be. Nebraska and Maine are the only two states in the country that divide their electoral votes. That means she could win one electoral vote here in the Omaha area and not win the rest of the state and still get that one electoral vote,” the reporter said.

“Biden did in 2020, Barack Obama did in 2008. So for all the talk of the ‘blue wall,’ it doesn’t work without the ‘blue dot’ from right here in Omaha,” he said.
