They don't need to get a majority, just a larger total. However, if there's a tie in the electoral college vote, the House of Representatives would vote for president, and the Senate votes for vice-president.

under the 12th modification, if no candidate gets a majority, the residing house chooses between the actual 3 applicants. (via fact the initiating of the modern 2 party gadget, infrequently has there been 3 applicants with electoral votes -- or in line with probability a 0.33 candidate who got here close -- that are why the final election to bypass to the residing house pre-dates the modern gadget.) If it is going to the residing house, the residing house votes by ability of state (each and each state gets one vote) and a majority of the states is had to flow with.

I think it goes to the House of Representatives. I think that is how one of the 19th century Presidents got the job, maybe it was Garfield ?
