The constitution specifies that the house chooses the president if there's a tie, or if neither candidate has a majority in the electoral college. It's unclear whether congress can ever choose the prez if there's not a tie, and only two candidates with electoral votes. At any rate, here's where the senate comes in: in order for congress to reject the electors of a given state, there must be a majority vote in both houses of congress. E.g. if Florida certifies for Gore, it will probably not get overturned (although that Torricelli guy could turn).
