Meanwhile, in Congress, a Woodrow Wilson / Nicholas Butler team is voted for (assuming all Dems vote for Wilson or Marshall and All Pubs vote for Taft or Butler).

What if the American Independent Party replaced the Democrats as the primary opposition to the Republicans?

1968:

Republican: Richard Nixon (California)/Spiro T. Agnew (Maryland) - 41.84%, 389 EVs
American Independent: George Wallace (Alabama)/Curtis LeMay (California) - 27.40%, 128 EVs
Democratic: Hubert Humphrey (Minnesota)/Edmund Muskie (Maine) - 23.17%, 21 EVs

1972:

Republican: Richard Nixon (California)/Spiro T. Agnew (Maryland) - 43.01%, 330 EVs
American Independent: John G. Schmitz (California)/Thomas J. Anderson (Tennessee) - 37.45%, 205 EVs
Democratic: George McGovern (South Dakota)/Sargent Shriver (Maryland) - 18.91%, 3 EVs

[Clark Kent]

2016:

John Kasich/Marco Rubio: 349 EV, 53.6%
Claire McCaskill/Elizabeth Warren: 189 EV, 44.7%

Your obsession has come too far. There is no way Kasich wins Michigan, Minnesota, Maine's 2nd, and New Mexico without winning New Hampshire.

[SingingAnalyst]

2016:

John Kasich/Marco Rubio: 349 EV, 53.6%
Claire McCaskill/Elizabeth Warren: 189 EV, 44.7%

There are too many loyal Dems for that to happen. Kasich picks up FL, OH, VA, and CO for a 276-262 EV victory and a narrow PV victory.

Bush takes all the support

[President of the great nation of 🏳️‍⚧️]

Clinton takes all Perot support.

Clinton/Gore: 531 EV, 62% PV
Bush/Quayle: 7 EV, 37%  PV

And if Bush took all Perot support:

Bush/Quayle: 481 EV/56% PV/47 S
Clinton/Gore: 47 EV/43% PV/3 S + DC
Closest state was Maryland, with only 63 votes in Clinton's favor.

[Mr. Smith]

Perot takes 5% equally from both Clinton and Bush.

Perot win w/ 283 EVs, cuz why not

Republican Troubles from the Electoral College

2016

Republican: Gov. John Kasich (Ohio)/Sen. Marco Rubio (Florida) - 48.3%, 269 EVs
Democratic: frm. SecState Hillary Clinton (New York)/Sen. Tim Kaine (Virginia) - 47.9%, 269 EVs

The Democrats narrowly win back control of the Senate, but the GOP holds the House. President Kasich is inaugurated on January 20, while Vice President Kaine is sworn in a few weeks later.

2020

Democratic: Vice President Tim Kaine (Virginia)/former SecHUD Julian Castro (Texas) - 48.8%, 282 EVs
Republican: President John Kasich (Ohio)/Gov. Nikki Haley (South Carolina) - 49.1%, 256 EVs

In a cruel twist of fate, President Kasich again wins the popular vote, but despite a prosperous economy and a relatively peaceful world, he loses the electoral vote. Tim Kaine is sworn in as the 46th President of the United States.

2024

Republican: Gov. Marco Rubio (Florida)/Sen. Justin Amash (Michigan) - 51.8%, 294 EVs
Democratic: President Tim Kaine (Virginia)/Vice President Julian Castro (Texas) - 46.3%, 244 EVs

The economic downturn and increase in Chinese aggression in the Asia-Pacific region greatly contributed to President Kaine's defeat to the charismatic Governor of Florida. However, despite a relatively comfortable margin of victory in the popular vote, the nature of the electoral college made the election much closer than it actually was.

1868: Seward's Revenge
In defiance of the "Copperhead" wing of his party, President McClellan continues to prosecute the war as a crusade to save the Union after peace negotiations collapse in early 1865. Enraged anti-war Democrats form a breakaway ticket in the 1868 elections, allowing Republican William H. Seward to win in a rout.

Sen. William H. Seward / Rep. Schuyler Colfax [REP] 222 EV; 48% pv
Pres. George McClellan / Gen. John A. Dix [DEM] 11 EV; 33% pv
Gov. Clement Vallandigham / VP George H. Pendleton [COP] 0 EV; 19% pv

1872: His Truth Goes Marching On
Seward renews the war effort in earnest, with the result that by March 1871 the states of the former Confederacy have all laid down their arms. The Republican ticket is reelected in a landslide, but Seward's untimely death in the days following the election elevates Vice President Colfax to the executive mansion.

Pres. William H. Seward / VP Schuyler Colfax [REP] 59% pv
Fr. Gov. Horatio Seymour / Sen. Thomas A. Hendricks [DEM] 41% pv

Pres. Schuyler Colfax / Sen. Henry Wilson [REP] 234 EV
Pres. Schuyler Colfax / Sen. Salmon P. Chase [REP] 22 EV
