If you're referring to new non-European states that have risen since the Cold War Ended, then the effect has perhaps been minimal in terms of their daily lives, but if they have close relations with the US it would mean a stronger connection.
Based on the passage context, Plumer's concern about a tie in the Electoral College is that <u>"</u><u>the decision to elect President would rest only on the House of Representatives.</u><u>"</u>
Also, Plumer thinks this would be a bad outcome because each state would have one vote for the President; the states with a higher population of voters would be at a disadvantage in expressing their support for who they wanted to vote for.
Hence, in this case, it is concluded that Plumer believes the subsequent actions after the Electoral College tie would mostly not favor the States with a higher population of voters.

I am not familiar with these terms, but if by “war party” you mean Patriots fighting from independence from Great Britain and by “peace party” you mean Loyalists supporting Great Britain, then hopefully this helps :)
War Party/Patriots:
-felt they were being treated unfairly by the British
-did not want to be taxed without even being given the opportunity to have proper representation in government aka Parliament
-during the Boston Massacre, rowdy Patriots mocked British soldiers stationed in Boston. The British soldiers responded with gunfire, killing a few people. This attack further spurred on the Patriots’ desire for freedom.
Peace Party/Loyalists:
-believed there was no point in fighting against the mightiest nation w/ a big, trained militia who have the proper resources and experience to fight
-they felt that life would be better under England’s rule. Since they were already an established country, it would be simpler to just obey King George.
-the colonies would profit from trade w/ England
-believed the American colonies would be weak without the leadership and strength of Great Britain to guide them
