You are quite correct. I’ve been reading a lot of Civil War history recently and there’s a bunch of lame duck session covered. However, that flaw in the Constitution was settled by the 20th Amend.

Most plausible 269-269 scenario is Obama wins OH PA MI WI NH, Romney wins FL NC VA CO NV IA
I don’t think that’s quite right. NH only has 4 EVs. So giving him the 1 EV from Maine plus CO, Romney needs 12 more EVs. NH/IA or NH/NV would only get him 10. NV/IA would be exactly 12. And WI has 10, so WI plus any of the other 3 would do it.
