The Electors shall meet in their respective states and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves; they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice-President, and they shall make distinct lists of all persons voted for as President, and of all persons voted for as Vice-President, and of the number of votes for each, which lists they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate;-The President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall then be counted;-The person having the greatest Number of votes for President, shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed; and if no person have such majority, then from the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President. But in choosing the President, the votes shall be taken by states, the representation from each state having one vote; a quorum for this purpose shall consist of a member or members from two-thirds of the states, and a majority of all the states shall be necessary to a choice.

But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.
This is quite interesting. Not sure I fully understand it, but it looks promising.
It's actually really simple:
1-the electors meet in their states and vote, then send the results to the vice president (President of the Senate).
2- the VP reads the results to the combined Senate/house of reps.
3-the guy getting the most votes is the President, unless he didn't get a majority (270) of the votes. (It's actually a separate vote for vice pres, but same procedure).
4-if no one gets a majority, the House of reps vote for the President. They can vote for any of the three highest vote getters. (In this case, only two people got electoral college votes, unless an elector goes rogue).
5-in this vote each state delegation gets one vote. (50 votes total).
6-the same thing happens for vice president, except it happens in the Senate, and they can only choose between the two highest vote getters.
