Tries to mix state, congressional, and popular participation in the voting process.  Each state gets as many electors as it has representatives of the House and Senate.  Citizens vote and the electors take the distribution of Citizen votes into account as they submit their votes in the electoral college.

270 (a majority) Electoral votes are required to elect a President.  If 270 votes are not reached by any one candidate, the top 3 are voted on in the House of Representatives.  Each State then gets one vote where a majority is needed.
