In the event that no candidate gets a majority of the electoral votes, the House elects a president from among the top three candidates in a election in which every state gets one vote. States with more than one representative to the House would have to caucus among themselves in order to decide how to cast their one vote. A majority of the states must agree in order to elect a candidate.
