Scott-SJoyceFla Nix 268
Oldiesfreak-Spamage 272
Senator Scott wins the Democratic nomination against token opposition and chooses independent SJoyce as his running mate. They go up against Congressman Oldiesfreak of Michigan who defeats the more Governor Spamage of Oregon in the Rep. Primary as the more conservative candidate. Oldiefreak's strong support in the rust belt states of Michigan, Iowa, Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania stings the Democratic ticket enough to lead the GOP to a narrow 272-268 electoral vote majority after a recount in the state of Iowa.
