Listen, we all remember all the Florida bullshit in the 2000 election but what about the 2012 election? Did you know that Obama only beat Romney by ~70,000 votes? Did you know that Florida was undecided for almost a week after the election? Did you know that Florida was the last state to be called in the 2012 election, and the closest? This leads me to this map, the equivalent of 2016 Nightmare Mode: In this scenario, Florida's final vote total is not arrived at for weeks, if not months. Perhaps the courts are involved. It's Florida! During this time, the entire country gets to imagine what a Presidential Election in the House in January 2017 would look like. Trumpublicans stockpile weapons and get ready for every eventuality. Each candidate continues to make speeches and hold rallies. Paul Ryan becomes the most important man in the country.

If Ohio, North Carolina, Nevada, Iowa, and New Hampshire all go Trump, of course Florida is probably going to go the same way. But let's say it comes down to a few thousand or even a few hundred disputed votes. And let's say that even if the disputed Florida election goes the expected direction at the end of a grueling process it would still mean an election thrown to the House at the expected end? Months-long national nightmare even worse than the one we're in.
