Dear visionaries -

This individual is a political procedure junkie....did not know if
anyone had posed an answer to Mr. Steed's original question (referenced
below)

the same answer as it would be in any other year.  Whoever wins 270
votes
from the electoral college. If no single candidate gets 270 votes, the
house
of representatives will vote (each state delegation votes for a
candidate
and the winner gets the vote of that state, each state gets one vote). 
The
house will continue voting until a single candidate gets a majority of
the
votes.  The Senate goes through the same process to determine the Vice
President.
