To me, it is chaos in the making, with the likelihood of most presidential elections being thrown to the House and subject to "vote trading" thus diluting the one person, one vote concept even more than it already is since each state only gets one vote if the election goes to the House.

Nope..it would be easier to repeal the 12th amendment and the likelihood of that happening any time soon is about zero...but IMO, that should really be where the third party supporters should focus their efforts and maybe over time, they could succeed with an amendment to change the presidential election to a straight popular vote of the people.
