Huh? You need a majority of the electoral college or else it goes to the House, which votes by state delegation (majority of states needed) among the top 3 candidates. If no electoral college majority for VP the Senate chooses the VP from the top two.

There are 538 electoral votes available. LINK

In a two way race, you need 270 electoral votes to prevail. The final tally could be 270 to 268.

270
268

538

In a three way race, you need 181 electoral votes to prevail.

It could look something like this.

181 Perot
180 Bush
177 Clinton
