Was there supposed to be a wikibox of the 2020 election? If so, I don't see it.

There was, apparently it cut off. Will try to repost later.

I believe that this forum is not the best place to post wikipedia info boxes. Just post the electoral vote map.

Based off a game of President Infinity I played. H.W. Bush declines to run for reelection, Gerald Ford steps in and unites the party and wins against a strong Perot and weak Douglas Wilder.

George H.W. Bush (R-TX)/Dan Quayle (R-IN) 1989-1993
Fmr. Pres. Gerald Ford (R-MI)/Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN) 1993-2001
Sen. Zell Miller (D-GA)[1]/Gov. Howard Dean (D-VT), Vacant, Sen. Evan Bayh (D-IN) 2001-2009
Sen. Gary Johnson[2] (R-NM)/Sen. Mitt Romney (R-MA) 2009-2017
VP.Mitt Romney (R-MA)/Rep. Mia Love (R-UT) 2017-2021
Gov. Maggie Hassan (D-NH)/Gov. Jay Nixon (D-MO) 2021-2025
Fmr. SoS. Rand Paul (R-KY)/Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) 2025-20??

[1] Zell Miller's presidency looks very similar to OTL Bush, but with a similar act to the ACA passing in 2002. This causes even more debt due to both the wars and expanded medicare. This leads the Republicans to be the anti-war, more libertarian party, in part also due to Ford's more moderate influence, as well as less of a conservative revolution in the 90's. During this time, Howard Dean resigns in protest of the war, and Evan Bayh is appointed to replace him.
[2] After giving the keynote address at the 2004 RNC and running for senate, Gary Johnson is seen as the party's best chance to take the White House, and wins in a landslide against unpopular appointed VP Evan Bayh, after Bayh won a contested and scandalous primary against Fmr. VP Howard Dean.

Wouldn't Ford be constitutionally barred from seeking re-election at 1996, even if he weren't 83 years old?

Depends on if he served less than half of Nixon's second term. Not sure what it actually is.

[sentinel]

1876 - The electoral commission narrowly awards all of the contested states' votes to Tilden giving him the presidency.
 
1880 - Tilden loses reelection being seen as weak, sickly and ineffective despite initially high aspirations.

 1884 - Blaine was a popular President who was widely seen as effective especially in his relationship with Congress. Unfortunately for Blaine, a scandal would break close to election day regarding awarding railroad charters unfairly. This issue would cost Blaine the presidency.

1888 - Thurmond opts to not run for a second term in office. VP Bayard quickly secures the Democratic nomination and narrowly defeats Chester A. Arthur.

1892 - Bayard is elected to a second term easily over George Edmunds. Bayard's Vice President unfortunately died of natural causes during his first term thus he was elected with Horace Boies of Iowa as his running mate this time. Trade was a significant issue during Bayard's term.

 1896 - William McKinley wins the presidency. His administration was marked by rapid economic growth and the Spanish American War which resulted in the American occupation of Cuba (and eventual statehood).

 1900 - McKinley is reelected but is assassinated in 1901. VP John Davis Long assumes the presidency and accuses Spanish nationalists of orchestrating the assassination of McKinley. Relations become very intense between Spain and the United States as the fingers are being pointed at Spain.

1904 - Davis Long is elected to a full term of his own. Soon after, King Alfonso XIII of Spain dies unexpectedly. Spain blames Davis Long for the death of Alfonso further escalating tensions. Spain and Austria jointly declare war on the United States. France and England, seeing an opportunity, align with the United States against Spain and Austria-Hungary. Thus begins World War 1. Ultimately, the Monde Alliance would be the United States, England, France, Germany, Sweden while the Oeste Alliance would be: Spain, Austria-Hungary, Italy, China and Mexico. The war would be won by the Monde Alliance in 1908. The result of the war would be the American annexation of much of northern Mexico, the end of Spain as a global power, and the breakdown of the Austria-Hungarian Empire. Years later, it would be discovered that Alfonso died of the flu.

1908 -  Joseph Folk beats out Jospeh Cannon in a race that swings opposite than expected due to the popularity of President Davis Long. Folk's presidency is rather uncontroversial and he wins a second term. Folk becomes known for improving relations with Europe after the First World War.

1912 - Folks second term in office. He beats out Governor Theodore Roosevelt of New York who is was seen as a rising star in the Republican Party.

 1916 - Folk had widely been expected to run for a third term but opts against running at the eleventh hour. Democrats are in shambles as they try to find a nominee -- Vice President Kearns was known to be in poor health but recommends Governor Thomas Marshall for the nomination. Marshall beats out the Republican ticket.
 
1920 - Marshall's presidency saw the upward swing of the economy and won a second term, securing four terms in a row for the Democratic Party.
 
1924 - Calvin Coolidge is elected President of the United States ending four straight cycles of Republican losses.

 1928 - Coolidge is seen as a success as the nation continues its period of peace and prosperity. In Europe, nationalism and resentment is growing toward the peace deal that was made for World War 1.

1932 - VP Borah loses the 1932 Presidential election but Coolidge dies of natural causes allowing Borah to briefly serve as President. Baker's first term is spent mostly on handling the Great Depression and increased government spending. In 1933, Spain would annex Portugal.

1936 - Newton loses the popular vote but wins the Electoral College sparking protests across the nation for a brief period of time. Governor Theodore Roosevelt Jr, who won the popular vote, calls for the country to unite around Newton once again. In 1939, a fascist dictator in Spain would invade France beginning what would ultimately be World War Two.

1940 - Newton would die of natural causes in 1937 after his reelection. His Vice President had died earlier in the year. Secretary of State Cordell Hull ascends to he presidency, doing no one any favors he calls the death of both Newton and the Vice President "a little too coincidental" for comfort. Cordell orders the United States military to high alert. In Europe the stage is set with the following two alliances at war: Retribution Alliance - Spain, Austria, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Italy and the Monde Alliance - France and Germany. Governor Theodore Roosevelt Jr would win the Presidency in 1940.
 
1944 - President Roosevelt would initially be wary of getting involved in the war in Europe, however, with the fall of France and a mostly democratic Germany on it's heels he would push England into coming to Germany's aid. In 1941, Austria would announce the reformation of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. President Roosevelt would die of a heart attack in 1944 while actively seeking reelection. The Democratic Party had put up a sacrificial ticket that everyone assumed would lose, and the Republican Party quickly re-nominated VP Arthur Vandenberg for President. Vandenberg would win the election. In 1945, Spain would claim victory over Germany and launch an attack against the United States in Cuba. Vandenberg would ask for and receive a declaration of war from Congress. The United States entry into World War Two would push England over the edge to help the German-French Alliance.

 1948 - The war continues but President Vandenberg opts against seeking another term. The alliances are as follows: Retribution Alliance - Spain, Austro-Hungarian Empire, Romania (AH Empire), Bulgaria (AH Empire), Italy, Poland, Turkey, Japan, Argentina and the Monde Alliance - France (defeated) and Germany (mostly defeated), England, United States, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Brazil. The 1948 election is won by Vice President and former New York Governor Thomas Dewey.

1952 – World War Two ends with the signing of the Peace Accord at Madrid. The Retribution Alliance’s offensive failed after their forces attacked a Soviet battalion in 1949 they mistook for enemies on the Polish-Soviet border. The USSR would declare war and combined with a US invasion in 1950, the Monde Alliance would declare victory in early 1952. Spain would be broken up into several new countries including Galicia, Catalonia, Leon and others.  Italy would have a Democratic government installed. However communist sympathizers would be democratically elected in both Germany and France as a result.  Dewey would be seen as a hero and would keep getting reelected until he opted not to run in 1960.

1956 – The nations economy would surge as Americans came home from war. A cold front would form in Europe with an emerging French-German-Soviet communist alliance.

1960 – Humphrey would try a second time for the Presidency and win, defeating former VP Earl Warren. Humphrey would push to warm relations with France and Germany despite their communist leaning democratic governments.

1964 – Humphrey is reelected by a narrow margin narrowly beating out the first female major party presidential nominee. The economy slows down during Humphrey’s term which is also marked by his refusal to commit US forces to overthrow the rise of dictatorships in Central America.

1968 – Margaret Chase Smith tries again for the presidency and loses to Vice President Averell Harriman. President Harriman

1972 – Harriman is assassinated after the Democratic National Convention by a communist sympathizer. Vice President, now President, Johnson is inaugurated and declared the Democratic nominee. Harriman had been down in the polls but Johnson surges due to Harriman’s death and wins the presidency. Johnson dies two days into his first full term of heart failure.

1976 - McGovern's term in office is marked by an economic depression, inflation, gas shortage and what is perceived to be a weakening of the United States abroad. He is sounded defeated in November 1976.

What exactly are the major differences between the Bull Moose and Innovation parties, in the modern context?

Bull Moose = Closer to current Democrats but less corporate oriented...Innovation = more like Rockefeller Republicans. Didn't really think it completely through TBH
