What if no one gets a majority of the vote of the Electoral College?

If no one receives a majority of electoral votes, then the election is decided by the House of Representatives. In this case, the top three candidates (those with the most votes) would be voted upon by the House, with each state casting one vote and the winner would become the President. The same process would be carried out for the Vice President in the Senate, meaning that it is possible the conjoined ticket would be split between members of two opposing parties.
