This is dumb but it resulted in this map:



Still a slight 280-258 win despite losing many key swing states...

Note: I used the share vs. US option, which is probably less than exact. If anyone wanted to go through the trouble of multiplying Clinton's margin in each states by 3 and comparing that, it'd be better, but also a waste of time.

I just wasted my time. AZ and NE used share to tie-break.

If you flip states that usually go Republican or Democratic:

303 to 235, a very reasonable expectation.

This is why Bernie and Trump's support appears larger than it actually is. It's inflated by the internet.

Speaking of, according to Facebook, this is what Sanders vs. Trump would have looked like.

275-263
Bernie wins coveted swing states Utah, Kansas, and Nebraska, but due to Republican strongholds of New Jersey and Delaware, winds up narrowly losing despite winning the popular vote.

Didn't want to make a new thread for this, but here's what happens if you set all demographics to 50% and 50% turnout.

FiveThirtyEight:



RealClearPolitics:



Montana is technically a tie, but it showed up blue on the map.

An experiment with trying to find the least amount of contiguous states to win that would win the election. Got 16.
