Ballot Mistake!
Several states, such as Vermont, Maine, and Illinois has mistakingly counted Averell Harriman's votes as Hallinan's. The two similar last names led to the accident, and a recount has been requested. So far, two of the votes originally designated for Hallinan have gone to Harriman.

Ballot Error Leads to Recount; No Candidate Has 50%
The recent shift in votes has led to no candidate currently holding a majority of the votes. Hallinan, once bragging that he had already won, is now scurrying to re-secure his votes as his count drops from 11 to 8 in only a few days, with Eisenhower trailing behind with 7. A coalition could end the stalemate, however. The Republican Party and Progressive Party are racing to get support of the Democratic Party.

I changed my vote too. And I don't get mad.

Someone needs to switch to Eisenhower just to see how a tie would be handled.

House of Representatives Decides Election
Becoming the closest election in American history, the House of Representatives had to step in to use (for the first time in American history) their power to give disputed electoral votes. Hallinan, with 8 votes, did not have the majority against the 7 votes of Eisenhower and 2 votes of Harriman. Unresolved, Hallinan called upon the House to end the controversy. The three disputed states were Florida, Louisiana, and South Carolina, which consisted of 20 contested electoral votes (With Eisenhower and Hallinan only a dozen apart).
An informal deal, known as the Compromise of 1952, was quickly struck, which awarded all 20 contested electoral votes (1 real from Eisenhower to Hallinan) to Hallinan. In return for the Republicans' acquiescence in Hallinan's election, Hallinan stated he would not pursue the legalization of prostitution, and would increase espionage funding similar to Eisenhower's plan.
Hallinan Gives Victory Speech
After the House of Representatives struck a compromise, Hallinan celebrated his victory by giving a speech in his resident town of Point Place, Wisconsin (as his hometown in California is under Mexican occupation).
Ballot:
Progressive Party 9 (After +1) (52.9%)
• Hallinan 9
Republican Party 6 (After -1)
• Eisenhower 6
Democratic Party 2
• Harriman 2

I'd have expected them to have given the electoral votes to Eisenhower considering he's a know quantity they can trust.
