Remember that US citizens don't actually vote for president. They vote for a 
group of people called "The electoral college", which in turn votes for the 
president.  Mostly a left-over from before electronic communications.

In sort, the President gets elected by one part of the legislature and the 
VP by the other, if there's a tie.
