Plus we don't need to include ATL equivalents to everything in OTL. That's Turtledove's problem. He's fantastic at writing interpersonal relations but he has a problem with making everything in his stories parallel something in OTL.

You support the idea of Boneham running for President in 2016?
We wouldn't have this discussion had Pericles not thought that having a ridiculous coin flip was a good thing to include instead of simply giving the damn recount to Kaine. It's possible to overcomplicate things in these collaboratives.
I'm just flabbergasted that something as important as deciding the President relies on a common way of deciding children's arguments. It'd be like deciding whether or not to go to war by using your Magic 8 Ball.

December 8th, 2012: SNL airs its famous "coin flip" sketch. The sketch humorously depicts a scenario where the Missouri recount had gone on long enough that the people involved were brainstorming ways of resolving it. Including, finally, the famous coin flip. The coin flip itself is depicted as being like the coin toss before the kick-off at an NFL game. The sketch was inspired by a comment by a frustrated election official humorously suggesting that they decide with a coin flip to "get this damn recount over already".
This is frankly the only plausible way to include the damn coin toss into the timeline. As a ridiculous SNL sketch.
