In the electoral college, there are 538 electors (or electoral votes), with at least 270 needed to win the presidential election. Although highly unlikely, it is possible that the electoral votes could be tied 269-269. If this were to happen, the vote would then go to Congress. It would be the duty of The House of Representatives to break the tie for the presidential election, and the duty of the Senate to break the tie for the vice presidential position.
There were 303 electoral votes available, so 152 were needed to win. Abraham Lincoln received 180, which was more than enough to win.
The Presidential Election of 1800 ended in a tie in the Electoral College. This sent the election to the House of Representatives where politics took over. Even though that election was salvaged, it was obvious that new rules were needed to prevent this happening again.
There are many things needed for an election. The first of these reasons being a reason for a held election.
The electoral college has absolutely nothing to do with nominating process for US presidential and vice presidential candidates. Each political party controls its own process of nominations limited only by the level of cooperation from each of the states.
On May 22, 1856, abolitionist Senator Charles Sumner, a Free Soil senator from Massachusetts, was beaten with a cane on the Senate floor by Senator Preston Brooks, a Democrat from South Carolina. He needed three months to recuperate. Brooks resigned in July, was re-elected in August and again in the November regular election, but died of croup in January 1857.
