And if you read the law proposed by Professor Kalt (it is very short, and included at the end of the third linked posting that I listed in this thread’s post #2), Congress would not be able to determine who the substitute candidate would be. If Hillary died, her runningmate would be the candidate that the House would be able to consider, and if her runningmate was dead as well, then the Hillary electors would vote again to replace Hillary with someone else.

That does address most of my concerns, though I hate to imagine who Clinton or Sanders will pick as a running mate (it will almost certainly be a young, far left-wing Hispanic, preferably gay).

I do still think that the election going to the House and one of the top three candidates dropping dead is a pretty unlikely (although not impossible) scenario.
