The party tries to choose someone who will complement the presidential candidate and help them win the election. This might be someone who can carry a big state that the candidate is weak in. It might be someone who is popular in an area or with a group of people who do not strongly favor the presidential candidate. It might a person who has solid experience and might be attractive to independent voters. Good debating and campaigning skills are very valuable.

If they choose a candidate with a minority of the votes, the result would probably be just as controversial as when a person with a plurality of popular votes loses in the electoral college.
A special election, or a run-off would be the term for such an election. However, a majority is not required in congressional elections. The candidate with the most votes wins.
