Turns out, if enough people do this, there's even a small chance they might win.

Do you have an examples you'd like to cite of this happening in the context of a US presidential election?

Nope, just the ability to perform elementary arithmetic.

Oh so, what's the arithmetic for how many times this has happened?

0 + 0 = 0

Coincidentally, that's also the likelihood of this happening.
