Florida has a massive population explosion and do to it being a republican state global warming melts the ice caps (
) and all low lying areas including Florida and Louisiana flee to the other 48 states. Because the republicans still reside in the florida panhandle it remains solidly republican. The florida voters somehow screw up the ballots in many states. Ok now that I look at it the map is possible:
The candidates are a rapidly anti-death penalty populist democrat from the mid-west with a ru10nning mate from Colorado and a staunchly anti-gun controll anti-environmental regulation, conservative republican from the rustbelt with a running mate from the south.
