Make a map of the previous eight posters as four tickets (Second attempt)

[Goldwater]

I tried this once before, but it wasn't very active and at this point it's filled with so many skips and bumps that it's hard to figure out who's even supposed to be in the map. So let's try this again, hopefully with better results.

[SUSAN CRUSHBONE]

at the outset of the campaign, most people expected an easy win for gov. goldwater due to vote-splitting between the three leftist tickets -- however, tnf made significant inroads among working-class southern and rustbelt whites, leading to an even more fractured situation.

Gov. Napoleon (D-NY) / Rep. Sawx (D-NH) - 201
Sen. Goldwater (R-WA) / Gov. ElectionsGuy (R-WI) - 156
Sen. TNF (SW-KY) / Rep. A.C. Fitzgerald (D-OH) - 115
Gov. Windjammer (I-MN) / Rep. butafly (I-ME) - 66

note: shading is shifted over by one - eg >30% shading means a vote share of 20-29%

California Gubernatorial Primary, 2014

The California primary proved extremely contested, with 4 major party candidates garnering a significant level of support. The early frontrunner was Congressman Napoleon, a Bay Area resident with heavy backing from the tech industry, running on a socially liberal and "fiscally responsible" platform (legalized drugs, balanced budget, tax cuts, etc.). He managed to get Green Party leader A Person as his running mate in order to broaden his base. However, his right-wing stances convinced Labor activist TNF from the Central Valley to jump in the race. Stirring workers to revolt against Big Money's attempt to control California politics, TNF managed to receive garner strong support. Another Democrat, LA city councilor Windjammer, mounted with his friend Adam Fitzgerald a maverick candidacy, championing left-wing economics and conservative social policies (notably virulently opposing drug legalization). On the other side of the aisle, Moderate Republican Goldwater managed to reignite support for the moribund CAGOP, and formed an alliance with Libertarian leader ElectionsGuy. On Election Day, Goldwater came ahead, running high in Southern California and in the in the northern hinterland. In an upset, TNF came clearly ahead of Napoleon and qualified for the General Election, backed by a coalition of Central Valley populists and Bay Area liberals.



Goldwater / ElectionsGuy (Republican/Libertarian): 34.6%
TNF / Sawx (Democratic): 28.5%
Napoleon / A Person (Democratic/Green): 22.8%
Windjammer / Adam (Democratic): 14.1%


California Gubernatorial Election, 2014

In the general election, Goldwater is unable to fight the State's political gravity, although he manages to perform decently for a republican. TNF takes most of Windjammer's votes, and though several Napoleon voters turn to Goldwater, manages to win a clear victory.



TNF / Sawx (Democratic): 54.3%
Goldwater / ElectionsGuy (Republican/Libertarian): 45.7%

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

Labor Party: a long-time coalition party of the left.  Sen. Antonio of California selects Frmr. Gov. TNF of Kentucky as his running mate to unite the moderate and radical camps.

People's Party: a moderately social democratic party with a significant presence of social conservatives.  Governor Windjammer of Minnesota heads the ticket with Rep. Adam C Fitzgerald of Ohio.

Progress Party:  self-styled "pro-market progressives" with strongly socially liberal politics and a strong base in the Northeast.  Gov. Napoleon of New York runs for President on a ticket with Sen. Sawx of New Hampshire.   

Reformer's Party: an ideological big-tent united by a focus on governmental reform, it is home to a large number of economic conservatives and libertarians, and others concerned about high taxes and fiscal waste.  Sen. ElectionsGuy of Wisconsin reaches out to the party's left flank by offering the VP slot to Gov. Butafly of Maine.

Sen. ElectionsGuy (R-WI) / Gov. Butafly (R-ME)  270
Gov. Windjammer (Pe-MN) / Rep. Adam C Fitzgerald (Pe-OH) 99
Sen. Antonio (L-CA) / Fmr. Gov. TNF (L-KY)  86
Gov. Napoleon (Pr-NY) / Sen. Sawx (Pr-NH)  83

1920
President Napoleon has had a rocky two terms. Despite a number of progressive reforms, in his first four years, the Great War--along with Napoleon's alienating style of governance and his shaky position between the left- and right-wings of his party--has left him unpopular. Ignoring the critics, as well as the mid-term results and his subsequent failure in achieving all his goals, Napoleon was able to win nomination for a third term by his party. In order to revitalize the ticket, the popular Governor Benjamin Sawx was given the Vice Presidential slot. While many had anticipated that former President Theodore Roosevelt might step up to the plate for the GOP, his death in 1919 doomed that dream. Instead, the little known idiosyncratic former Congressman James H. Shua, who recently raised his public profile through opposition to Napoleon's foreign policy, was put up by the Party of Lincoln. The young Governor Elections Guy of Wisconsin was put on the bottom of the ticket, hoping to appeal to Mid-Western and German-American voters that had been alienated by some of Napoleon's policies.

The third party tickets would prove more interesting, though. Running from prison was former revolutionary Theodore Nugent Fauntroy, known by his adorers as "TNF". In order to give the party some presence outside the prison walls, hog farmer "A. Person" was made their Vice Presidential nominee. A farmer from Illinois, it was hoped his reputation as a representative of the common man through his name would help the party. The Prohibition Party, enraged at Governor Sawx's well known love for alcohol, is using him as a foil. Well known chastity activist and former Ambassador to France Antonio V. was paired with fellow Frenchmen and preacher Windjammer, who was known for his support for the banning of all drugs and his belief that free will was a myth.

With a splitting of the left-wing "reform" vote between TNF and Antonio, and the Democrats in dire straits, Shua easily won the electoral and popular vote.

Shua (R-VA)/Elections Guy (R-WI) 309 electoral votes
Napoleon (D-CT)/Sawx (D-NH) 127 electoral votes
TNF (S-KY)/a Person (S-IL) 91 electoral votes
Antonio (P-CA)/Windjammer (P-VT) 4 electoral votes

1848

Pressured into a war he did not want by a Congress calling for blood, President Napoleon (D-NY) nonetheless carried out the Mexican War with the utmost vigor, seeing the eventual collapse of Mexican resistance by 1848 and strongly backing the proposal of Congressman TNF (the so called 'TNF Proviso' to ban slavery in the territories). This of course would lead to strong contention at the Democratic National Convention of that year, in which Napoleon would be renominated for President only after making significant concessions to the party's pro-slavery wing, selecting railroad ally and Mexican War general Goldwater as his running mate, as well as denouncing the TNF proviso.

This sends anti-slavery Democrats, allied with the various Working Men's parties at the state and local levels, and abolitionist and other land reform groups, into a frenzy. They hastily form the Free Labor Party and nominate Congressman TNF of Kentucky for the Presidency and former Congressman butafly of Illinois, a noted feminist and supporter of women's rights, for the Vice Presidency. The radical Free Labor ticket calls for a ban on slavery in the territories, full voting rights for women, and the right of laborers to organize. It also calls for the enactment of a 10 hour day law.

The Whigs, laughing all the way to the bank with Democratic disarray, nominate Cathcon, a Roman Catholic (there's a first!) and general involved in the destruction of Mexico during the Mexican War. Cathcon's running mate, Senator shua of Virginia, is selected to balance out the ticket and bring Southern slaveholders into line with the Whig Party, which preaches national unity over sectional interests, as well as opposes the drive to enact a 10 hour day.

The American Republican Party, a minor association of native born opponents of alcoholism, immigration, and catholicism, nominates for President former Senator Antonio V and Congressman Windjammer. They do best among native born workers concerned with the growing number of immigrants making their way to American shores and the influence they have over the Democratic Party.

President Napoleon of New York and General Goldwater of Delaware (Democratic Party): 60 Electoral Votes
General Cathcon of Michigan and Senator Shua of Virginia (Whig Party): 124 Electoral Votes
Congressman TNF of Kentucky and former Congressman butafly of Illinois (Free Labor Party): 102 Electoral Votes
Former Senator Antonio V of Maine and Congressman Windjammer of Rhode Island (American Republican Party): 4 Electoral Votes

With no overall majority, the election is thrown to the House, which has a Whig majority. Although a substantive number of Whigs and Democrats vote for the Free Labor ticket, Cathcon is overwhelmingly elected by the combined efforts of so-called 'nationalist' Congressmen, attacking the candidacy of TNF as a 'sectional affair'. The Senate elects Shua Vice President without much contention, as well.
