battle in this case, and I don't trust the Supreme Court. There does not seem to be a clear process for the type of situation I brought up.

"The Person having the greatest Number of Votes shall be the President."

Even though Greeley lost the popular vote to Grant, the posthumous electoral vote for Greeley was consequently spread among several candidates.

We must insure that our Democratic electors are unified in whom they select as President. If Senator Kerry should meet with an unfortunate accident prior to the election, and he receives the majority of the popular vote consistent with a majority of electors in the electoral college, we must insure that these electors know what to do. They must unanimously vote for the same candidate. If electors spread votes among two or more candidates, as the electors did in the Grant-Greeley election of 1872, then Bu$h could conceivably gain a majority of electoral votes and retain power.
