text: It also mentions that  if a tie were to happen in the electoral votes, the election would be thrown out of the House of Representatives and the state delegations vote for the president.  IF a tie were to appear, i doubt very much that it will happen because the people campaign for the president they want in the White house, so they persuade people causing one to have most votes. But in all worst cases, that is why there is a Vice-President. The Vice-President serves a purpose and should be treated like so.
