text: "Perhaps most worrying is the prospect of a tie in the electoral vote. In this case, the election would be thrown to the house of Representatives, where state delegations vote on the president." (The senate would choose the vice president). Given that many voters vote one party for president and another for congress, the House's selection can hardly be expected to reflect the will of the people. For example: If you lived in Texas, for instance, and wanted to vote for someone, you'd vote for a slate of 34 democratic electors pledged to him.
