This is a totally useless excercise that popped into my head after I did a '72 map with a 10% national swing to McGovern.

2004, 10% to Kerry:



428-110

2004, 10% to Bush:



523-15

2000, 10% to Gore:



509-29

2000, 10% to Bush:



498-40

I'm not sure if this new tendency to appeal to the apparent inherent evil of Xahar in all things even remotely related to forum policing or this damn game is especially helpful.

Nor would a 10% swing in WA make it >60 Bush.  I assume you're just adding 10 percentage points to their vote share, right?  That's actually a 20% swing.

I was working pretty fast, and made a mistake.

10% to Carter 1980 (-3.5 Reagan, -1,5 Anderson, +5 Carter)



Carter: 283

If you leave out Anderson and make it a straight swing against Reagan of 10, Carter gains Connecticut and Oregon.


10% to McGovern



Nixon: 492
McGovern: 46

+5% to Wallace, 1968  (done proportionally to his vote in each state, so some of the results for the states he did win are more than a bit messed up):



Nixon: 256
Humphrey: 191
Wallace: 91
