This is 269-269. Anyone care to put a story behind this one?
I'll go for it...
Both parties get together and decide they're going to work together for real this time. They plan from the very beginning to make it a 269-269 tie where there will be a Dem and a GOP working together in the White House. They decide the best way to do this without letting the American people know of their diabolical plan to confuse them is to draw states out of a hat and label them blue or red.
In order to make it not look like any sudden changes in the electorate, they produce the following nominees:
the nominees are Chris Christie (R-NJ) / Linda Lingle (R-HI), and Julian Castro (D-TX) / Mary Landreiu (D-LA).
Coincidentally,
1) The entire Mormon population from Idaho and Montana move to Nevada as the Hispanic population suddenly gets tired of Colorado and moves to Kansas, Nebraska, and South Dakota.
2) Indiana invades Illinois and annexes Cook County.
3) There's a mass producing of ballots in NYC that say Christie (D) and Castro (R)
4) Canada invades the United States (MI) and conquers Detroit.
5) A hurricane wipes out half the Democratic voters in VA, MD, DE, and NJ, and the rest of them flee to Georgia and NC.
6) Old white Retirees moving to MIssouri suddenly become a socially liberal bastion voting block and start voting solid Democrat
7) New England gets together and decides that they all hate the state of Maine
Plausible??
