It looks like Nebraska's special legislative session ended a couple of days ago without going to winner takes all (or apparently passing the property tax relief that was the impetus for the session in the first place). So that really significantly reduces the odds of a non-cheating electoral college tie.

Incidentally, if I'm ever elected to Congress, my first proposed legislation would be to bump up the number of House seats by one so we have an odd number of electors and thus cant have an electoral college tie (at least without faithless electors or cheating).

Well, I would like to see you first propose statehood for DC, as well as for Puerto Rico should the people there want it. Four more senators, certainly a few more House representatives – and definitely more electors. (Making an odd-numbered total, if you wish.)
