THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME WITH THE WACKO WINGNUTS

(h/t Wonkette)

Judson Phillips, the head of Tea Party Nation, published a piece in WND that purported to describe a Constitutional way to throw the election to Romney.  Unfortunately, Phillips was relying on the Glenn  Beck edition of the Constitution, not the real one and even WND had to print a retraction:
Editor’s note, Nov. 20, 2012:

Since this column was posted it has been discovered that the premise presented about the Electoral College and the Constitution is in error. According to the 12th Amendment, a two-thirds quorum is required in the House of Representatives, not the Electoral College.
