Bolded candidates won

How I'd have voted in ones I missed:

1789: George Washington/John Adams
1792: George Washington/John Adams
1796: John Adams/Alexander Hamilton (Adams was elected VP)
1800: John Adams/Thomas Jefferson (Adams was elected VP)
1804: Thomas Jefferson/George Clinton
1808: James Madison/John Langdon
1812: DeWitt Clinton/Albert Gallatin
1816: Rufus King/John Howard
1820: DeWitt Clinton/Stephen Bradley
1824: John Quincy Adams/John C. Calhoun (They'd be like a Hamilton/Burr ticket )
1828: Henry Clay/Richard Rush (I would vote for just about anyone over Jackson/Calhoun)
1832: Henry Clay/John Sergeant
1836: Daniel Webster/Francis P. Granger
1840: Daniel Webster/Francis P. Granger
1844: James Birney/Thomas Morris
1848: Charles Francis Adams/John P. Hale (probably the best Atlamerican President ever)
1852: Charles Francis Adams/John P. Hale
1856: William H. Seward/Abraham Lincoln

When I actually started voting:

1860: Abraham Lincoln/John Fremont
1864: Abraham Lincoln/Hannibal Hamlin
1868: Rueben Fenton/Schuyler Colfax
1872: Salomon Chase/Benjamin Brown
1876: Benjamin Bristow/William Wheeler
1880: James Weaver/Benjamin Butler
1884: Benjamin Butler/David Davis
1888: Alson Streeter/Charles Cunningham
1892: James Weaver/James Kyle
1896: James Weaver/Thomas Watson (Really wish Watson wasn't VP)
1900: William Jennings Bryan/Ignatius Donnelly (We'd have found Atlantis by now if they'd won )
1904: William Allen/Samuel Williams (Tried in vain to keep the Populists alive, should've voted Debs)
1908: Robert LaFollette/Albert Cummins
1912: Oscar Underwood/James "Champ" Clark (Underwood would've been an awesome President)
1916: James "Champ" Clark/Thomas Marshall (Annoyed about primary sabotage)
1920: Thomas Marshall/Alfred E. Smith
1924: Alfred E. Smith/Oscar Underwood (Only because Underwood was the VP nominee)
1928: Alfred E. Smith/Joseph Robinson (Only because I don't like Norman Thomas)
1932: Alfred E. Smith/Joseph Robinson (Only because I don't like Norman Thomas)
1936: FDR/John Nance Garner
1940: FDR/Burton K. Wheeler
1944: FDR/Harry S. Truman
1948: Harry S. Truman/William Douglas (I wanted to vote Sinclair, but he always ran against people I really like: FDR, Truman, and Kefauver)
1952: Estes Kefauver/Adlai Stevenson II
1956: Estes Kefauver/Hubert Humphrey
1960: Hubert Humphrey/Lyndon Johnson (One of my worst votes)
1964: Unpledged Electors: William Fulbright/George C. Wallace (I wanted a Ralph Yarborough/Wayne Morse slate of pro-Civil Rights unpledged electors, since Johnson is a segregationist in this TL)
1968: George McGovern/Wayne Morse
1972: George McGovern/Wayne Morse
1976: Frank Church/Birch Bayh
1980: Frank Church/Birch Bayh

And here's a map of the home states of all the popular vote runners up - correct me if I'm wrong on any of them, as I may have waffled between popular and electoral vote, though I tried to stay with the former.

It is missing Nader (Connecticut), Eisenhower (Kansas), and William Wirt (Maryland), other than that it looks about right.  Fun fact: Aside from North Dakota, every Midwestern state in Atlamerica has produced either a President or an electoral vote runner-up.  I suppose you could argue Oklahoma is of the Midwest, but it seems far more culturally Southern than Midwestern, so I've always considered it part of the South (this is also true of Missouri, but to an even greater extent than Oklahoma).  On a semi-related note, can someone explain why the New York Times keeps referring to West Virginia as part of the Northeast?
