Seward intended to buy British Columbia, so as to have territorial continuity with Alaska.

What would have been the results of every presidential election, let's say, since 1872 ?

With maps, it would be even better Wink (though difficult to say how many EVs British Columbia would have had in the past (census numbers are better known for the 20th century, I guess).

You can pick one or several elections, of course !

Is BC part of Alaska ITTL?  I'm not sure - probably both would be conservative with a libertarian streak as per otl, perhaps even Moreso.

Anyone familiar with the politics of British Columbia?

Population: 4,400,057

I think thats about 7 representatives + 2 Senators, which would be 9 Electoral Votes.

Well there's the assumption that it would be politically closer to its American neighbors when put under American government and flooded with the type of Americans who did head West. I'm imagining at some point it'd resemble Oregon, though I'm spitballing.
