Each state delegation has one vote. Ow California and Delaware would each have 1 vote.
To make it even more uncertain, the House could select someone who wasn’t even running. They could conceivably select Liz Cheney or Bruce Springsteen.

I’m pretty sure that is absolutely not correct. The House can only select a candidate who finished 1st, 2nd or 3rd in the electoral vote. This language in the Constitution tells us that the founders of this country really designed the government with the expectation that we would NOT end up with just two major political parties.
