Luckily, Vice President Richard Nixon, who was presiding over the Senate, validated only his opponent's electors, but he made sure to do so "without establlishing a precendent.". He finishes that section by asking: what if it happened again? This was not just a small little mistake that happened. That was a big problem that could have changed everything. The Electoral College Has to many flaws to keep running and this was one of them.
