To date, there has been only one election who's winner was determined by the House of Representatives; the 1824 election. However the occasional third party getting electoral votes have changed this. I have a number of alternate history scenarios from changing the <10% difference per state to the other guy. I would like to know under the House of Representatives who'd likely end up president in this situation
