Sorry for the delay, and I know Bush has already won, but I think I remember reading in a Newsweek that, in the case of an electoral tie, the House votes for President and the Senate for Vice-President. Makes for some interesting combinations.

Au contare, Mr. Wheeler. if there is an electoral tie, it goes to the House of Representatives - the new house that was elected yesterday. Each state votes as a block, for example, Pennsylvania has 21 house seats. Those 21 representatives vote and who ever gets a majority of those 22 votes gets Pennsylvania's vote. Still more confusion.
