Shua (R-VA)-20RP12 (R-PA) : 286
Alfred F Jones (D-NY)-JulioMadrid (D-NV) : 252

Alfred, Senator from New York, comfortably wins the Democratic nomination for President capitalizing on liberal discontent with the direction of the party. Promising a 'new age for America' at the Democratic Conference in Seattle, Washington, the grassroots is extremely enthusiastic. In an attempt to push Hispanics away from the GOP and to aid the Democrats in the southwest, he picks popular Nevada Governor Julio. Virginia Governor, Shua, struggles to win the GOP nomination and is forced to move to the right to counter the insurgency from 20RP12. As a 'gift', Congressman 20RP12, is offered the vice-presidency slot on the ticket.  Senator Alfred and Governor Julio perform very well in the southwest, as expected, Colorado, New Mexico and Nevada all go red and Arizona is unexpectedly close. Nevertheless, Shua and 20RP12 storm the midwest. Wisconsin votes GOP for the first time since 1988, libertarian New Hampshire enthusiastically votes for the Republicans and Pennsylvania almost goes the GOP way. A 'bog-standard' Republican victory.

Close states

Arizona: 47.6%-52.0%
Ohio: 48.0%-50.9%
Pennsylvania: 47.6%-49.9%
New Hampshire: 48.8%-50.1%
Wisconsin: 48.5%-49.1%

20RP12(R-PA)-Jbrase (R-IA) : 371
Julio (D-CA)- Free Palestine (D-CA) : 143
Unpledged - 24

The Democratic Party is overtaken by the Occupy movement and in the chaos of the 2016 Convention, Julio and Free Palestine using arcane party rules manage to secure the nomination. In horror the moderate wing of the party walk out of the Convention. The Republicans in contrast are able to unite around Pennsylvania Governor 20RP12, who narrowly wins the primaries against hardcore Libertarian Jbrase. As an act of party unity, 20RP12 announce Jbrase as his running mate. However southern evangelicals disgusted at this socially moderate ticket announce that an independent 'unpledged' slate of Republican electors shall be on the ballot in Mississippi, Alabama and South Carolina. The GOP dominate the polling up to the election and are expected to break 400 electoral votes, however in the last week, party loyalty makes some of the undecided Democrats vote for Julio. Nevertheless 20RP12 storms the election and while 'unpledged' Republican electors win in the south, they are no where near needed for a GOP electoral college majority.

Close states

Maine At Large: 45.6%-53.0%
Washington: 47.8%-49.3%
California: 47.6%-49.9%
New Mexico: 49.0%-49.8%
Connecticut: 47.5%-50.9%

Fmr. Senator Vosem (R-IL) - Governor 20RP12 (R-PA) : 386
Senator Alfred F. Jones (D-NY) - Activist Free Palestine (D-CA) : 152

The left wing grassroots of the Democratic Party upset at the direction of the political climate of the United States decide to support New York Senator Alfred F. Jones en-masse against the more establishment candidate, Congressman Yelnoc of Georgia. The internet support and vast organizational skills of Alfred wins him the Democratic nomination barely. The victorious New York Senator however in his desire for a 'truly liberal' ticket opts for activist Free Palestine of California, causing an uproar amongst the moderate section of the Democratic Party who simply leave the convention. In contrast, the Republican Party's fmr. Illinois Senator Vosem wins the GOP nod due to the vote splitting caused by multiple conservative candidates, infact, he narrowly avoids a brokered convention. Vosem chooses Pennsylvania Governor 20RP12 to help him amongst independents and to boost the tickets executive experience. In the end, the election is a rout. All of the swing states and 'lean' states go to the GOP, including New Jersey and Washington. The only saving grace for the Senator from New York is that due to the partisan atmosphere of recent times, most Democrats vote for the ticket, albeit begrudgingly, more stay home. Vosem storms into the White House.

This is almost a copy of the last map I did funnily enough.

Governor 20RP12 (R-PA) - Vice-President Realistic Idealist (R-WA) : 178
Fmr. President Napoleon (D-CT) - Fmr. Vice-President Fallen Morgan (D-CA) : 360


President Tmthforu94 decides to not run for re-election after the economy enters a double-dip recession. The GOP's 'hard hitters' shy away from the nomination, allowing libertarian Pennsylvania Governor 20RP12 to successfully win the nod for an election that most Republicans think is a lock for the Democrats. In a convention floor vote, serving Republican Vice-President Realistic Idealist of Washington is re-nominated. The GOP ticket tries to distance itself from the economic troubles by focusing on 'ending the wars' and 'bringing the troops home', however in an election dominated by domestic concerns this makes little headway. For the Democratic Party, former President Napoleon wins the nomination almost without contest after storming the Iowa Caucuses' and New Hampshire Primaries. America, unhappy with the choice they made four years earlier decides to re-elect Napoleon and Fallen Morgan to the Presidency, however voter turnout is rather low given the apparent 'stale' choices on both tickets.

President Shua (R-VA) - Vice-President Rhodie (R-AL) : 395
Congressman Antonio V (D-LA) - Activist Fallen Morgan (D-CA) : 143


President Shua and Vice-President Rhodie are re-nominated at the GOP Convention in St. Louis, to huge acclaim and fanfare. Unemployment had dropped to 7.4%, the economy was growing, manufacturing was at a four year high. Polls indicated President Shua's approval rating averaging at 55%. Echoing Ronald Reagan's 1984 campaign mantra, 'It's Morning in America', the President announces, to great applause, that 'America is Back!'.

Running on the 'America is Back!' platform, President Shua promises to continue the 'prosperous advance' of the nation. Using his record to make the case for re-election, the President is able to avoid other contentious issues, especially immigration, which allows the GOP to play well in areas formally believed to be beyond its reach. While Vice-President Rhodie ensures the base is enthused by touring the South and Western States.

On the Democratic side, liberal Louisiana Democratic Congressman, Antonio, wins the primaries almost unanimously. Due to the popularity of the Republican administration, most Democrats decide not to run, preferring to wait for the 2016 election. The four term Congressman faces huge difficulties in making inroads with independents and swing voters, moreover, most of the Democratic base is extremely pessimistic about their chances in November. Playing on a 'base first' tactic, he opts for Fallen Morgan to be his Vice Presidential candidate. Nevertheless, with two solid leftists on the ticket, the Democratic coalition begins to crack as DLC'ers quietly defect to President Shua's campaign. Thus allowing states such as New Jersey and Washington to become vulnerable.

On election day, the result is no surprise. Landslide territory (as called by CNN) for the GOP. The Democratic 'base first' strategy does manage to hold New York and California, thus preventing a total EV collapse.
