Questioning Google there are separate votes for Pres. and VP,

like 1876;

Pres by House, and
VP by Senators

A presidential contingent election is decided by a special vote of the United States House of Representatives, while a vice-presidential contingent election is decided by a vote of the United States Senate. ... Senators, on the other hand, cast votes individually for vice president.

How does it go to the House if every state will be sending a slate of electors to the Electoral College on Monday? You would have to have a ton of faithless electors for this to happen.
