I don't think so. As far as I know, McMullin is the only one other than
Clinton and Trump with any real chance at getting any electoral votes -
Johnson and Stein will likely both get a much higher percentage of the
popular vote than McMullin, but I don't think either of them is anywhere
close to winning a state in the polls.

But Like Chuck said, it's really all academic. The possibility of Clinton
and Trump both losing a majority by less than six electoral votes is pretty
remote.
