No Elector may cast votes for Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates who both inhabit the same state as the Elector. It is, however, possible for an ...

If more than one individual was voted for by a majority of electors (which was possible, since each elector cast two votes), the individual with the greater number of votes won. If there was a tie, the Hou ...
