Reilly '12 the hope, the change, the ipads
The electioneering sort of faded out after the initial burst of energy. Reilly and Acosta appeared to be either high school or early college students. Acosta actually started his college career the same year the campaign began. He eventually became known as a musical artist under the name Murdock.
In the event of a Reilly/Acosta victory their youth and residence in the same state would have posed significant Constitutional barriers in obtaining office. Reilly also posted some sporadic statements regarding his 2016 and 2020 campaigns, but no running-mate was mentioned.
Election history: none
