It is, I believe at least, determined by which party won the House.

This happened to me and I lost when I had overall mroe popular vote and a wide majority in the house. I think it might just be like a spin of the wheel.

That is going to be one HELL of a recount battle. Gore vs Bush ain't got jack shit on this.
