Why not use popular vote as a tie-breaker? It only makes sense...
Our current system makes no sense as it is. Think about it. We have a system where it is too tight to tell who will be the next POTUS, yet one of the candidates has a majority of the national popular vote. Not just a plurality, but a majority (and that share will likely just rise), and he is at risk of not being POTUS. It's asinine.
