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.
12th amendment
The U.S. President is never elected by popular vote. In fact, there have been four Presidential elections in U.S. history in which the winner of the election was not the candidate who received the most popular votes (in 1824, 1876, 1888 and 2000).
In the event of a tie in the presidential election, the decision goes to the House of Representatives, where each state delegation gets one vote to choose the president. If the House cannot decide on a winner by Inauguration Day, the Vice President-elect would become acting president until a decision is made.
If there had been a 269-269 tie in the Electoral College, the election would have been decided by the U.S. House of Representatives, which is controlled by the Republican Party.
