Looks like we tied, Jefferson. Seemed to be impossible, since we were on the same side after all.
Yup. 73 votes each to be exact. Now we need a tie breaker. Off we go to the house, Burr!

I promote Jefferson! We may have disagreed many times, but at least he has beliefs and principles. Burr does not! Burr is a liar and a bad man. My vote belongs to Jefferson!
Hamilton, what?I thought you despised Jefferson?
Yes.. we may have disagreed but Jefferson has beliefs. Burr does not.
Hamilton
Representative

I won the election! But your my vice president? You were running for president I thought?
I was... But I got second place in the election so they stuck me here. How can we prevent a tie, and unwanted vice presidency?
Hmm.. We can pass the 12th amendment! There will be two ballots, a vice president ballot, and a president ballot. This should prevent all ties, especially with those who are the in same party, like us!
Sounds great, lets go consult Congress!
WE AGREE!!
Great idea Jefferson! That's something we agree on.
