Polls_PuffPass (D-MD)/Sherrod Brown (D-OH): 315 electoral votes
Superman (R-CT)/Marco Rubio (R-FL): 116 electoral votes
RFayette (I-IA)/Mike Huckabee (I-AR): 107 electoral votes
L.D. Smith (I-CA)/Jim Matheson (I-UT): 0 electoral votes
RFayette, an outspoken social conservative, comes in second place in the Republican Party primaries to Superman, a moderate from Connecticut. RFayette decides to do a third-party run in response, and campaigns heavily in the more socially conservative parts of the country, especially the South (which ends up giving him all of his electoral votes). A split in the conservative vote helps Polls_PuffPass win Georgia, North Carolina and Ohio; while Superman narrowly manages to take Colorado, Florida, Nevada and New Hampshire. L.D. Smith is unable to carry any states, but does respectably well for a third-party candidate in Appalachia (where his message of economic populism and social conservatism resonates), Utah and Mormon areas of Idaho.
