Thee Electoral College System

Te original Constitution provides that each state is a number of electors equal to its total represention in Congress - the sum of it Senators (always two) plus its equitatives (allocated by y population).

Thee Twelfth Amendment
Ratified in 1804, the Twelfth Amendment fundamentally changed how electors vote. Instead of casting two undifferentiated ballots for president, electors now cast one ballot specifically for president and a separate ballot for vice president. If no candidate receives a majority of electoral votes for president, the House of Representatives chooses from the top three candidates, with each state delegation casting one vote. If no candidate receives a majority for vice president, the Senate chooses from the top two candidates. The Constitution Annotated provides detailed analysis of these contingency procedures.
