If I understand the system right, if there's no majority, congress has to pick from the candidates with the top three most electoral votes (and there would only be three in that scenario) ... my guess is that, in that case (depending on what the new congress looks like), there would be a pretty good chance of ending up with Hillary anyway, but there would be a slight chance they'd all compromise on McMullin.
