Make a map of the above four posters as separate candidates

[Leinad]

Theodore "The Beaver" Cleaver (D-VA) 22.5% - 83
Randall Maxwell (R-OK) 27.3% - 276
Ariane Persson (G-ME) 24.8% - 104
Larry D. Smith (I-CA) 20.2% - 75
Others 5.2% - 0

Moderate Theodore Cleaver, commonly known as "the Beaver," narrowly won the democratic nomination, while popular Green Party nominee Ariane Persson, and her social-media campaign centered around the hashtag #FOREVERGREEN got the support of democrats who thought the Beaver was too moderate for them, and L.D. Smith (who ran an unsuccessful Democratic primary campaign) ran on his own socially conservative and economically left-of-center independent ticket. Libertarian Randall Maxwell narrowly won the highly-fractured Republican party at a brokered convention.

The left-of-center vote was highly split between the two Democrat candidates and Persson, while most of the right-of-center vote went to the Republican nominee, although Smith picked up a lot of social conservative votes and the Beaver picked up some moderates.

Maxwell won just enough electoral votes, by picking up small wins in many states. Interestingly, all 4 candidates lost their home states.

Can someone keep this going? I'd love to see the next one--should be interesting with 3 libertarians and a conservative democrat!

Gov. Clark Kent (R-CT) - 293 EVs - 38.5%
Rep. Vincent P. Habs (D-KS) - 150 EVs - 30.4%
Sen. L.D. Smith (P-CA) - 95 EVs - 26.8%
Mr. Thomas Nelson Franklin (S-IL) - 0 EVs - 4.3%

Connecticut governor Clark S. Kent is able to win the Republican primaries easily, while prominent Representative Vincent P. Habs narrowly beats Senator L.D. Smith in the Democratic primaries, leading Smith to form his own economically left-of-center, socially right-of-center "Populist Party." Also, prominent far-left activist Thomas N. Franklin (often known by his initials, "T.N.F.") runs as the Socialist nominee, and with the lack of a true socially liberal nominee does quite well for a candidate so far to the left.

With no other right-wing challenger, Kent wins most Republican states. Smith does quite well in the South, beating Habs in every former Confederate state, but with liberal voters supporting Habs he picks up few states. T.N.F. gets 12% in his home state of Illinois, taking enough left-leaning voters from Habs to give the state narrowly to Kent.

the conservative vote being divided three ways

Wait...am I considered a conservative? When did this happen?

(I'll do a map of 4 soon...too busy now. Either way, I'm glad to see this has had some more activity as of late!)

In a convention of turmoil, Evangelical Reverend Thomas Fromton of New Jersey, a popular candidate among social conservatives, somehow wins the Republican nomination. More moderate Republican governor Jack N. Derman, known for his independent streak, starts an independent campaign. St. Peter tells John Kasich to run as his VP.

Meanwhile, on the left, Senator Eve R. Green wins the nomination, but prominent rapper 84285 runs a campaign for the presidency as well, after losing the nomination and declaring Senator Green wasn't legit enough to win.

With 2 left-wing candidates, that vote is split, while many more moderate Democrats join up with Governor Derman, who already has moderate Republicans on his side.

Rev. Thomas Fromton (R-NJ)/Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) 26X% PV, 153 EVs
Sen. Eve R. Green (D-ME)/Sec. Julian Castro (D-TX) 24% PV, 150 EVs
Gov. Jack N. Derman (I-FL)/Gov. John Kasich (R-UT) 36% PV, 235 EVs
Mr. 84285 (I-MA)/Gov. Lincoln Chafee (D-RI) 12% PV, X EVs

(Why did Clark skip me? No big deal, but I think I had a good chance in that one! )

Fairly moderate Ohio Senator Robert Pryor won the Republican nomination, but was challenged by the slightly more conservative Connecticut Governor Clark Kent. Many conservatives voted for Kent, but many others voted for Pryor due to a bizarre medical condition where they're unable to vote for anyone without an "R" next to their name.

Meanwhile, Washington Governor Timothy Charles Crumpet won the primaries, but runner-up L.D. Smith decided to form a third-party--the Communitarian Party--in protest of some of the Democrats' left-leaning views on social issues.

Kent is too ideologically similar to drag enough votes away from Pryor, simply splitting votes in most places, while Crumpet is able to get a large enough share of the left-of-center vote to win, despite finishing last, behind Smith, in many southern states.

Sen. Robert Pryor (R-OH)/Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) PV: 29% EV: 205
Gov. T.C. Crumpet (D-WA)/Sec. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) PV: 34% EV: 320
Gov. Clark Kent (I-CT)/Gov. Scott Walker (I-WI) PV: 20% EV: 0
Sen. Lewis David Smith (C-VA)/Sen. Bob Casey Jr. (C-PA) PV: 15% EV: 13

RFayette wins both the conservative and moderate vote, while the left-wing vote is split 3 ways.

Total landslide.

Rep. Robert Fayette (R-CA)/Gov. John Kasich (R-OH) - 528 EVs
Rep. Darren Barrett (D-NC)/Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) - 3 EVs
Sen. Ned Verigan (I-VA)/Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) - 3 EVs
Rep. Lois Neergreve (G-ME)/Dr. Jill Stein (G-MA) - 4 EVs

I'd expect them to lose Vermont in that case, too.

It was close. President Fayette didn't complain, though.

Awesome to see this start back!

2020 Presidential Election

Background: After the disastrous nomination of Donald Trump, where he lost to previously nearly-unheard-of left-wing Representative Eve R. Green (who herself was selected at a brokered Democratic convention by the Chafee delegates as a younger female equivalent to Bernie Sanders, who was slightly ahead of Hillary Clinton on raw delegates), the Republican Party was a mess. They couldn't unite on a candidate throughout the primaries, thus leading to an 1836-style election where they ran three candidates: conservative California Rep. with a populist flare Art Fayette in the conservative South and Midwest, Washington Senator Gary Goldwater, domestically libertarian but vowing to "take the fight to ISIS!" after what Republicans deemed as lack of decisive action on the part of President Green, running in the West, and socially moderate Connecticut Governor Clark Kent running in the Northeast.

Pres. Eve R. Green - 269 EVs - 45.3%
Rep. Art Fayette - 126 EVs - 19.4%
Sen. Gary Goldwater - 101 EVs - 16.3%
Gov. Clark Kent - 42 EVs - 10.5%
Kanye West - 0 EVs - 7.2%
Others - 0 EVs - 1.3%

While the Republicans are hurt by the simple fact they're doing this scheme, and the total lack of party unity, President Green is hurt by an independent run by Kanye West, and being forced to campaign in unexpectedly close Maine, Connecticut, and Washington. This keeps her from taking North Carolina, Georgia, and Iowa from Fayette, who was himself hurt by flip-flopping.

In the end, the Republican-controlled house chose Governor Kent, while the Democrat-controlled Senate chose Green's Vice President, former Senator and Governor Lincoln Chafee (who, as was mentioned before, held the balance of power in the 2016 convention in this absurd parallel universe).
