Current Governors Choose President For 2017
Rules: Must achieve 66% of states (34 Governors), can only choose from current governors

First Ballot

Scott Walker (R): 6 votes
Andrew Cuomo (D): 5 votes
Rick Scott (R): 4 votes
Chris Christie (R): 3 votes
Jay Nixon (D): 3 votes

Nathan Deal (R): 1 vote
Nikki Haley (R): 1 vote
Paul LePage (R): 1 vote
Robert Bentley (R): 1 vote
Tom Wolf (D): 1 vote
Blank Ballots: 10 votes

Upon the Governors meeting they immediately take a vote to see where the cards fall. 19 candidates names are on the table, 38% of the possible pool.  10 of those only have a single vote. A fifth of the Governors leaves their ballot blank.

Second Ballot

Scott: 8 votes

Bullock: 2 votes
Otter: 2 votes
Inslee: 1 vote
Hickenlooper: 1 vote
J. Brown: 1 vote
Haley: 1 vote

Rick Scott and Scott Walker potentially solidify themselves as front-runners for the Presidency. They will need to wrap up their entire party and then some Democrats to win.

Third Ballot:

Christie: 5 votes
Abbott: 4 votes
Nixon: 3 votes
Otter: 3 votes

Walker: 10 votes
Scott: 9 votes
K. Brown: 7 votes
Abbott: 7 votes
Nixon: 6 votes
Cuomo: 5 votes
Christie: 5 votes
Hickenlooper: 1 vote

Major consolidation on both sides, but who will lose support first?

Fifth Round:

K. Brown: 11 votes
Walker: 10 votes
Scott: 9 votes
Abbott: 8 votes
Nixon: 8 votes
Christie: 3 votes
Cuomo: 1 vote

Kate Brown takes the lead. Cuomo and Christie lose support.


Sixth Round

Nixon: 12 votes
K. Brown: 11 votes
Walker: 10 votes

Abbott: 8 votes

Two Democrats lead for the first time today.

Seventh Round

Walker: 12 votes
K. Brown: 11 votes
Abbott: 11 votes
Scott: 3 votes

Nixon and Walker take the lead. Governors are tired on the eight round of voting

Eight Round

Nixon: 24 votes
Walker: 15 votes
Abbott: 11 votes

Three candidates are left

Ninth Round

Nixon: 27 votes
Walker: 18 votes
Abbott:  5 votes

Tenth Round

Nixon: 34 votes (1 independent, 15 Republicans, 18 Democrats)
Walker: 16 votes (All Republicans)

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Screw this, I'm doing alternate British Prime Ministers again.


Margaret Thatcher (1979-1990)

Defeated in the leadership election

Michael Heseltine (1990-1993)

Narrowly wins the 1991 election. Internal divisions in the Conservative Party forces another election in 1993, which Tories lost.

John Smith (1993-1994)

The first Labour PM since 1979. Smith dies suddenly while in office.

Baron Irvine of Lairg (1994)

The Lord Chancellor, he's named a caretaker Prime Minister for about two months, pending new leader selection.

Gordon Brown (1994-2002)

An unexpected winner of the leadership election over acting leader Margaret Beckett. Brown wins with reduced majority in 1997 and again in 2001. In 2002, pursuant to a secret deal, he steps down in favor of Home Secretary and Deputy Prime Minister Tony Blair ("Brown-Blair deal")

Tony Blair (2002-2006)

Decides against calling a snap election following his accession. Serves out term. The 2006 election produces a hung parliament.

Charles Kennedy (2006)

After Blair steps down in order to make coalition talks between Labour and Liberal Democrats possible, LibDem leader Charles Kennedy serves as interim PM until a new Labour leader is elected.

Jack Straw (2006-2007)

After a year, internal tensions within the Labour Party and disagreements with the coalition partner over foreign policy forces Straw to call an early election, which sees the first Tory majority since 1991.

Liam Fox (2007-present)

Elected Conservative leader in 2006. Fox is re-elected as PM in 2011.
