Well, here's one of the stranger stories of the day. While we're all inundated with crazy amounts of information about the current presidential candidates, maybe you're thinking to yourself, "What if the candidates were actually rival mobile operating systems?" 

OK, so maybe you're not daydreaming about iOS and Android political match-ups, but thanks to mobile analytics company Apsalar, we can still see a handy electoral map of the results.

Looking at the map, iOS is clearly the "winner," claiming a whopping 32 states to Android's 18. The results are based on the number of unique devices utilizing each OS within the region. The map also notes the electoral vote would have worked out with an iOS victory, with Apple's system claiming 304 electoral votes to Android's 234.

The breakdown of top states per system are interesting, too. Clearly, states like Alaska and Hawaii benefit from the "per-capita" set up, but it's still intriguing that Apple devices seem to be most prevalent in those regions.

Now, obviously, it seems somewhat silly to project these figures onto the current American political climate, but when compared to current presidential election polls, the numbers are eerily similar. 

Political Analyst Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight blog currently forecasts the electoral votes between Obama and Romney at 305.4 and 232.6, respectively. Amazingly, that's only a point or so off from the map put together by Apsalar.

So, assuming the data is accurate, the question must be asked: does the electorate forecast line-up with competing mobile OS platforms? Well, sort of. Comparing the two maps shows some similarities in the way states are swaying in the polls, with the iOS states somewhat resembling the Obama-leaning electoral projections. Silver also noted this week that Obama is polling better in surveys which include smartphone users. What would be really interesting is the breakdown of iOS versus other mobile OS users within that category.

Also, where's that third-party candidate, Windows Phone?
