So I had an odd dream where I was time travelling with my family. At one point, we were sitting in a hotel room channel surfing when we came across a cable channel that was broadcasting the Presidential election results. I didn't know the year. The Republican candidate was Ronald Reagan, but I didn't catch the names of the Democrat or Independent candidates so they can be whoever you want for the challenge. All of the talking heads were talking about how since no one had an electoral college majority, the Republicans controlled House would select Reagan as the next President. Oh and one more thing: I got the sense from the way they were talking that none of the candidates were the incumbent. So I'm going to assume that the incumbent either can't run due to term limits or was defeated in the primaries. For the map I used the 1972-1980 electoral vote counts, since I figured that was the most likely time period for Reagan to be running, but if you think you can do it in a different time period feel free. Keep in mind that the Republicans must control the House!
