Economist.com's latest election forecast is 269-269

Electors are calculated based on each individual state -- one for each Senator (two) plus an amount scaled for the amount of Representatives.

You don't just "add more electors" because that's not how they are summed.

The Constitution has a function built in in the event of a tie in the 12th Amendment:

• The House of Representatives chooses the next President. However each separate state casts a single vote, regardless of population, meaning that California and Kansas are considered equal in this scenario, just like how British parliamentary bullshit goes.

• The Senate chooses the next Vice President.

There is absolutely no written law or mandate in the UK that there has to be a Prime Minister, and there is absolutely no governing procedure to determine how he is chosen. The King just randomly points at someone and says "you." Parliament does a vote and makes a suggestion and quite often it is who the King wants for the job that doesn't exist. !burgers they actually do this in England:

The office of prime minister is not established by any statute or constitutional document, but exists only by long-established convention, whereby the monarch appoints as prime minister the person most likely to command the confidence of the House of Commons.
