My apologies! Where in NC are you located?

Wilmington, the new 2nd Congressional District. The detail in your maps is amazing, I would expect the politicians to gerrymander a little bit more, but I really appreciate how hard you have worked to make such an interesting timeline Cheesy

Thank you! For NC in particular I doubt a map like this would pass, though I'm sure Republicans would accept something like this, actually. It's the CBC that would be more frustrated without a 50% Minority-Majority district anymore.

Good point. Butterfield might do what he did last time again if he feels he needs to.

Anyway once more this is a great timeline and I can't wait to see what comes next!

2024 United States Presidential Election


✓ Senator Brian Sandoval (R-NV)/Governor Walker Stapleton (R-CO) - 292 EVs
President Martin Heinrich (D-NM)/Vice President Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) - 246 EVs

EDIT: 2020 United States Census reapportionment accounted for.

I think you did the electoral math wrong, however. Sandoval should only be winning with 289 EVs, per my calculations.

2020 reapportiomment has been incorporated into this timeline.

Exactly. I haven't done the map for that, of course. Not sure I'd know how.

Do you have a list of which states were reapportioned?

In this TL Sandoval's most recent job was as Senator from Nevada. Otherwise, map looks good.

Ech, specifics.

Prime Minister Balls FTW

Anyway, I wonder if Heinrich will do a Cleveland... Unlikely, but you never know!

Was there a large 'Sandoval Democrats' movement like there was for Reagan in '80 and '84? I could see a major one cropping up among economically apathetic Democrats who usually vote D for social policy.

Brian Sandoval slightly underperformed typical Republican numbers here, as Alaska trended somewhat Democrat in 2024, the only state to do so.

Why?

Great job! Cheesy

I think it would be cool if you wanted to try a news-style coverage/analysis of the midterms, but it's up to you, of course. Either way would still be awesome.
