One thing I worry about is a contingent presidential election. That situation arises when no candidate gets a majority of electoral votes (270 of 538). Should this situation arise, Congress gets to pick the next president and vice president.

You’re missing a key part of that process which makes it even more of a shit show. If there is a contingent election, then it is not resolved by a straight vote of 435 House members. Each state’s House delegation gets a vote. So all 52 members from California get the same voting power as Wyoming’s lone rep.
I thought, surely you must be wrong.
Nope… You’re right.
And they can even hold the vote in a closed session.
wtf
Of course I’m right…
… and don’t call me Shirley.
The one time our votes count for MORE instead of LESS
System is garbage
One time whose votes count more? Wyoming? They already count more in presidential and Senate elections that californians’
