There are more complications to ending the level playing field of the electoral vote. If such a situation arises, the responsibility for nominating the vice president will rest with the Senate (upper house of Congress). In that case, there is the possibility that one party is a candidate for the office of president and another party candidate for the office of vice president.
Even in Congress, if for some reason the status quo of the electoral vote for the presidency cannot be abolished, the vice president will continue to serve as president until the matter is resolved.
If the House of Representatives and Senate do not elect anyone, the Speaker will continue to serve as President until the matter is resolved.
Nobody thinks that something like this will happen in these elections. But political experts are discussing this. Through these discussions in the tense political situation in the United States, people also have the opportunity to learn about the complexities of American politics.
Yet this is exactly what has happened in American history. The level playing field for electoral voting was created in 1800. The presidential candidates were Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Barr. Both candidates received 73 electoral votes each (minus states in the United States in 1800).
Congress solved the problem by electing Thomas Jefferson as president and Aaron Barr as vice president. When such an anomaly later emerged, a new paragraph had to be added to the 12th Amendment to the United States Constitution. There is talk of a solution to the problem if such a situation arises today.
