The electors shall meet in their respective states and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves; they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice-President, and they shall make distinct lists of all persons voted for as President, and of all persons voted for as Vice-President, and of the number of votes for each, which lists they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate;--The President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall then be counted;--the person having the greatest number of votes for President, shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of electors appointed; and if no person have such majority, then from the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President. But in choosing the President, the votes shall be taken by states, the representation from each state having one vote; a quorum for this purpose shall consist of a member or members from two-thirds of the states, and a majority of all the states shall be necessary to a choice. And if the House of Representatives shall not choose a President whenever the right of choice shall devolve upon them, before the fourth day of March next following, then the Vice-President shall act as President, as in the case of the death or other constitutional disability of the President. The person having the greatest number of votes as Vice-President, shall be the Vice-President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of electors appointed, and if no person have a majority, then from the two highest numbers on the list, the Senate shall choose the Vice-President; a quorum for the purpose shall consist of two-thirds of the whole number of Senators, and a majority of the whole number shall be necessary to a choice. But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.

This amendment lays out all outlines for the electoral process of the United States; how the President and Vice President are elected and how they are elected in any event of a tie of votes between the states and the people. The President of the Senate under the supervision of the House of Representatives shall count each vote for each person and document each outcome from each ballot. The the House cannot reach a decision in the event of a tie, in a mannerly time, the Vice President chosen shall become President in the month of March. The Senate is then responsible for choosing the Vice President in the same event of a tie of votes. Anyone ineligible to be President can in turn not be eligible for Vice President, in any case the VP should have to take over the Presidency.

The two videos are related in explaining the electoral college's responsibility in President and Vice President elections. The first explains the reasoning for 12th amendment and why it is important which then mentions the scandal that happened in 1824, the reason for split parties entering the Presidential and Vice Presidential status

This document from the huffington post gives an opinion about why they think the Electoral College is bad; why the electoral college in itself is undemocratic giving more power to itself over the people. It gives a good point in how the country is supposed to be run by the people's votes but they can be overruled by the college and by congress in the split election.
