Maybe they can answer your question, I don't have a clue. In my view, that would be like us having a Presidential race tied 259-259 among the two leaders (is that possible, seem maybe in a multi-person race). What happens, do the other candidate(s) with electoral votes get to chose who to give theirs too? Do we let the two leaders draw straws with the one drawing the longest straw becoming President?
