Isn't the real question here if there are enough Democratic partisans/faithless electors in the MI, PA, and WI delegations to the Electoral College to swing the result of the election in a constitutional manner? It would be meaningless to send it to the House as Trump would just win there instead.

If there is no majority and if even one elector chooses a third option, the top three go up for consideration.

What I'm saying here is that you should all be prepared for President Ron Paul.

Edit:
Clarified that this scenario is where there is no majority winner.

I thought this only applied if no candidate reaches 270 in the Electoral College?

Yes, I thought that was implied in the scenario. Enough electors flip sides by voting for either Hillary or someone else to create no majority.

I'll edit my post to be more clear.
