Wallace's Running Mate

I had the same question.  After looking it up, Marvin Griffin was a temporary VP candidate for Wallace who was replaced by LeMay; however, his name stayed on most ballots.

One interesting point is that if no candidate has a majority of the electoral votes for President, the House chooses among the top 3 candidates (voting by state); while if no candidate has a majority of the electoral votes for Vice President, the Senate chooses between the top 2 candidates.  So while the House might have chosen between Nixon, Humphrey, and Wallace; the Senate would choose between Agnew and Muskie.

Why is this, do you know?  I've always wondered, because it seemed kind of weird.
