I'll do what Goldwater did, since I don't know where solarstorm is from either

2016 Presidential ElectionWith two economically populist candidates, the focus turns to social issues more than it otherwise would have. This election marks the lowest campaign spending in many years, as deep-pocketed donors are less willing to open their wallets than they have been in other recent elections, and both candidates rely more heavily on grassroots funding than other candidates have in the recent past. Although GaussLaw's social conservatism and outspoken opposition to abortion are able to energize socially conservative voters, boosting his totals in many regions of the country and allowing him to pick up the key swing states of Iowa and Florida, MormDem's appeal to the Democratic base based on liberal economic policies along with attacks on GaussLaw's social views are able to keep the Obama coalition largely intact for this election, leading to few changes on the map, and GaussLaw's economic views cause many fiscally conservative voters to stay home or vote for the Libertarian ticket. MormDem also does well compared to Obama in Utah and other states with high Mormon populations. In the end, though the dynamics of this race are quite different from the previous few cycles, the final results of the election are quite similar, with turnout about the same overall, but also with the difference in turnout numbers by income being smaller than usual.
