What would it take for a third party to take control of some states in congress? What would the ramifications be for the government? The current system is based on one majority party and one minority party, whether it is for speaker, commits, ect. I am more interested in the effects, so lets just say some party responds specifically to local concerns and seizes power in a couple of states, and is able to keep one party from having half of either chamber. Lets also assume they don't run for president.
