If nobody gets a majority, it goes to the House of Representatives, where it will be a STATE-BY-STATE vote, i.e., California will get as much weight as Wyoming. Presumably, each congressional delegation will vote amongst themselves as to how to cast their ballot, and presumably it will be alnog party lines, so if the majority of states have more Republican representatives than Democratic ones, then the state will most likely voeRepublican in the House (or vice-versa). Now, if there is at least one evenly split delegation, and this prevents an outright majority vote in the House, you may see some politicking and deal-making,and this will be interesting. For Vice-President, the rules are different. Whoever gets a majority of votes in the Senate becomes Vice-President. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if there is a tie in the electoral college, there is a slim chance we end up with a Bush/Edwards outcome. Weird huh? I was watching a thing on Fox News about this. If there is a deadlock in the HOR on President, then the VP as decided by the Senate would act as President until the HOR finally made a decision....
