Tie to Romney

If the electoral college is deadlocked at 269 for each candidate, the House elects the president with each state delegation casting one vote. Given that the House will remain Republican, along with the many small-population Red states, Romney will get the necessary 26 votes. The Senate picks the vice president, and given that it will remain Blue, Biden will win, unless he resigns in favor of Ryan.
