SAN ANGELO, Texas, Sept. 28, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) \u2013- Donald Eugene Lowe started working on his presidential campaign in 2013. To date, he has spent less than $20,000 and he\u2019s not about to give up now. In fact, he says he\u2019s just getting started. \u201cIt\u2019s possible,\u201d Lowe says. \u201cThere are many voters who do not like Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump and that puts me in a very good position. According to my calculations, I have a 52 percent chance of winning.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Donald
\nHow is this possible? Lowe explains that he is skipping the general election and instead focusing on winning the Electoral College.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m working to beat these candidates at their own game,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

The Electoral College consists of 538 electors. A majority of 270 electoral votes is required to elect the President. A state\u2019s entitled allotment of electors equals the number of members in its congressional delegation: one for each member in the House of Representatives plus two for senators.<\/p>\n

And, there\u2019s no constitutional provision or Federal law that requires Electors to vote according to the results of the popular vote in their states. Some states, however, require Electors to cast their votes according to the popular vote.<\/p>\n

So, while it\u2019s rare for Electors to disregard the popular vote by casting their electoral vote for someone other than their party’s candidate, it\u2019s not impossible.<\/p>\n

After being turned down by the Republican Party for his request for a brokered convention like they used to have for candidates who could not afford a large campaign, Lowe continued to forge ahead.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile the Republican Party made it impossible for me to run in the general election, they can\u2019t eliminate me from the Electoral College,\u201d Lowe says. \u201cAnd, after campaigning at more than 700 locations and traveling more than 400,000 miles, I\u2019m not about to give up now. I might be the only candidate running for the Electoral College and skipping the general election and that\u2019s okay. It\u2019s America after all \u2013 it\u2019s a place where dreams come true.\u201d<\/p>\n
