Really, there's no need to use plurality. The electoral college is
supposed to choose a president by majority anyway. I suppose that if the
convention totally broke down and no majority formed, then you could use
that weird house of representatives tiebreaking procedure that's already
in the constitution. But really, I don't think that would ever happen.
