It requires that should the president elect be ineligible the House must choose between the top three EV getters.

Someone remind one of the Democrat electors to cast a single "protest" electoral vote for Hillary. Then she will be one of the top three vote getters.

Yep. In the election of 1824 no candidate had a majority and it was thrown into the House which had to choose between Jackson, William Crawford and John Quincy Adams. Jackson had received the most votes and Adams the least but the House choose the latter.
