2048 USA Presidential Election

The 2048 Presidential Election was held on November 3rd 2048. It was between Incumbent President Chelsea Clinton and Republican Challenger John S. McCain IV, a senator from Arizona and the son of former Republican Nominee John McCain III. This election again was going down to the wire and was predicted to be one of the closest.

 Election Results 

Chelsea Clinton / Ralph Hughes - 71,890,237 - 269 Electoral Votes

John S McCain / Mike Bannon - 70,042,943 - 269 Electoral Votes

This was the first time in American history that both candidates received 269 Electoral Votes and this meant the election was inconclusive as no candidate reach 270 to become President. Therefore the election was the be decided by the House. There was also a recount in Nevada after John McCain won the state by just 872 votes. Eventually the Democratic controlled house choose Chelsea Clinton. However the Senate was controlled by Republicans after the 2046 Midterms by 51/49. However there was a tie in the Senate too, so the Vice Presidency came down to a coin toss, in which the Democrat Ralph Hughes won. So the Democrats managed to hold both offices in the closest Election in US election.
