Perhaps most worying in the prospect of a tie in the electoral vote Plumer said "In that case, the election would would be thrown to the House of Representatives, where state delegations vote on the president.(The Senate would chose the vice-president.) because each stat casts only on vote, the single representing 500,000 voters, would have as much say as the 55 representative from California, who represent 35 million voters."which is much more simpler that have a electoral college expecially when they have had many problems in the past with it.
