As they say, infinite monkeys...

But Wisconsin being independent seems unlikely. The fact is we've never seen a repeat electoral map, ever to my knowledge, and it's unlikely this one - which is extremely unlikely to occur in general - will be the one to repeat.

The La Raza/Aztlan people had them reunite with Mexico.  Smiley

And DC's right to vote was taken away...apparently the GOP got a 2/3 majority in both houses of Congress and controlled 3/4 of the state legislatures at some point. Smiley

No state is required to appoint electors, and Congress acts as a state legislature for purposes of DC's electoral votes. A simple law, or resolution having the force of law, could waive DC's representation.

Yes, it's very possible. In 1920, it was impossible for Philadelphia to be Democratic.

Wow! I wonder how much the demographics have changed.

I don't think Kentucky or West Virginia would split against the South.

Everything is possible by quantum mechanics.  Even this.


But, barring anything like that (odds of approximately (googleplex^googleplex^googleplex):1), no.
