How would each state vote with French parties?

[Ban my account ffs!]

I could see the socialist coming close in Minnesota, North Dakota, and Wisconsin.  These are the states that gave socialists the largest showing in the early 20th century.

While the Northeast is Democratic, I don't think they're socialist at all... I mean, they voted for Taft.

Eugene Debs, during that election, did very well in the upper midwest and the west.  Those ideas are still around but they have been hijacked by the two major parties.  If we had French parties, I think we'd have a vastly different political makeup.

A map of this would look, almost, nothing like anything involving existing U.S parties.

Have a look at some French electoral maps and you'll get my point.

Merci beaucoup..

Could you link to some, please?

But the Socialist vote lingered much longer in the Northeast (granted, really just in NYC and parts of North Jersey) than in their former western strongholds. Check Norman Thomas or Henry Wallace.

Here's a challenge. Do the 1965 elections with De Gaulle/Mitterand/etc.

In the second round at least, Mitterand would have won most of the South and not a lot else.
His political base would likely be in West Virginia, btw (in real life it was, o/c, the Nièvre department).

What about 1969 (second Round)? I'm thinking Poher does best in New England and the Upper Pacific. Pompideu sweeps everywhere else. Something Like this maybe:

1974:

1981:

1988:

1995:

2002 (and Unlike the other maps I'll do the percentages aswell):

Le Pen's best state in the second round would probably be Florida; it's home to the American version (sort of) of the pied noirs (ie; Miami Cubans) and the same sort of demographic that dominates the Côte d'Azur (where he always polls very well).
