What do you see as being the most likely 269-269 tie in the next Presidential election, and between whom? And which party will be controlling Congress at that point?

Discuss with maps and party tickets.

This is pretty much the only plausible 269-269 map.  And it's sort of difficult to achieve.  Not sure how the GOP could win Iowa but not Ohio yet alone take Nevada barring some massive outreach to Hispanics.

What are the tickets though? Rubio-Thune and O'Malley-Warren?

Here's mine:



Christie-Walker > Warren-Kaine

Blue dogs in the house swing the election to Christie while a 50-50 split Senate pick Kaine to be Veep.

This is the right answer.

The next most plausible scenario, I think, involves any of a number of combinations in concert with the Republican's EV vote-rigging scheme going through in PA and/or MI, where it appears to still be an active possibility.

What ticket do you think would be required to turn off the Midwest as in this map?

I agree with you though, it is the most plausible.

Clinton-Warner > Bush-Walker


Oklahoma sends it to the House which picks Hilldog for Prez; the Senate, Walker for VP.
And so Oboner austerity continues for another 4 years.
