The constitution of the United States sends the election from the Electoral College into U.S.Congress. First the U.S. House of Representatives has a chance to choose. They must choose from the three candidates for President having the most votes and they must vote by States, each State casting one vote and each State being governed in that choice by the political complexion of a majority of its representatives in the House. But a careful tabulation of the House with five States deadlocked shows that there is no majority to be had.
