This situation is 1-in-a-million (well, I'm sure someone will argue that). Just happens that we get 50-50 split on the electoral vote. Just happens that the swing state is exactly 50-50. I guess I'm just not worried about a repetition,especially since I bet a lot of things will be cleaned up before 2004.

There is an old saying that "hard cases make bad law." This is a very hard case, for reasons you outline. I would hate to see too much tinkering with a system that has "served us well." I think it much more likely that no one will remember any of this 4 months from now, which is probably the best possible final outcome. Much better than trying to solve every possible contingency in advance.
