[Mr. Smith]

I may post this map later at another place, but here it is:

The only hint is that 2000 and 2016 are involved in this.

2020 Democrat Primaries



Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA)
Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH)
Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ)
Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN)
Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY)

Other Candidates
U.N. Ambassador Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI)
Governor Andrew Cuomo (D-NY)
New York City Mayor Bill DeBlasio (D-NY)
Former Governor Martin O'Malley (D-MD)
Former Governor Terry McAuliffe (D-VA)
Actor Mark Ruffalo (D-WI)

In the last Iowa Caucuses ever and the last of Iowa being the first in the nation, Amy Klobuchar scored a surprise win over expected contenders Kamala Harris and Sherrod Brown. Iowa would also send the campaigns of Mark Ruffalo, Terry McAuliffe, and Martin O'Malley. Klobuchar, in a sign of the increasing irrelevance of Iowa, managed to slide in future performances, only staying in long enough to win her home state of Minnesota. Harris would score a comeback in New Hampshire, defeating Gillibrand, who would go on to only win Massachussets before signaling the end of her campaign. New Hampshire would also eliminate the other two New York candidates - Cuomo and DeBlasio.

Booker scored the highest concentration of African American support of the field, but his support proved to have a ceiling when faced with fewer candidates, and as the states become less diverse and outside of his appeal, Booker would begin to lose ground quickly. Sherrod Brown suffered from his loss in Iowa, and had a hard time climbing back up the ladder after that even as he scored many impressive and, in the case of Oklahoma, Ohio, West Virginia, and Kentucky, sizable. Harris, thanks to California being her home state and her operation optimizing voters in high voter states, managed to score enough delegates to sweep the convention.

2016: Defenders of Earthrealm vs Bernie The Upset

Fmr. General Sonya A. Blade-Cage (R - TX)/Actor Johnny Cage (R - CA): 347 EVs, 56.5% PV
Senator Bernie Sanders (D/I - VT)/Congresswoman Eleanor Norton Holmes (D - DC): 191 EVs, 38.0% PV

Arizona goes to Sanders by a margin of 20,000. Senator John McCain started a personal feud against General Blade that remained largely confined to Arizona. Kirkpatrick wins AZ's Senate seat, but NV, NH switch to the GOP, giving the Republicans a 53-47 edge. The House is 242 GOP - 193 DEM.

Some Chief Justice: U.S. Presidential Election, 1948:

Governor Earl Warren (R - CA)/House Majority Whip Leslie C. Arends (R - IL): 332 EVs, 49.8% PV
President Harry S. Truman (D - MO)/Associate Justice William O. Douglas (D - NY): 159 EVs, 45.2% PV
Governor Strom Thurmond (SR - SC)/Governor Fielding L. Wright (SR - MS): 40 EVs, 2.8% PV

Governor Earl Warren runs a moderate-to-liberal campaign for the Republican candidacy, having been endorsed by 1944 Presidential Candidate Thomas Dewey. The California Governor unifies the moderate wing of the party, narrowly but decisively winning against Taftite John Bricker. Warren cordially reached out to the Taftites by selecting conservative House Minority Whip Leslie Arends of Illinois. Governor Warren ran one of the most energetic campaigns in history, being compared to Andrew Jackson and Abraham Lincoln in terms of personal involvement. Truman was taken aback by Warren's energy, and found himself unable to keep up. Commentators would later dub Truman's campaign as "low-energy." Unsurprisingly, Warren won decisively in the Electoral College against an unpopular incumbent with a party fractured into three. Four faithless electors split from Truman in the election; two in Tennessee went to Thurmond's States' Rights Dixiecrats while two electors mistakenly believed Warren barely took Virginia and thus voted accordingly.

No Clinton, No Trump in 2016. Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump doesn't run for their parties in the election. The GOP selects Marco Rubio from Florida who beats a large GOP field in a contested convention and the Democrats select Vice-President Joe Biden from Florida who easily secures the party's nomination at the end of March. Running mates are Gov. Nikki Haley from South Carolina and HUD Sec. Julian Castro from Texas. Lincoln Chaffee runs as an Independent, participates in the debates but receives 0 electoral votes.

Sen. Marco A. Rubio (R-FL)/Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC) 322 43.87%
VP. Joseph R. "Joe" Biden Jr (D-DE)/Sen. Martin T. Heinrich (D-NM) 216 40.23%
Fmr Gov. Lincoln D. Chafee (I-RI)/Fmr  Sen. Joseph I. "Joe" Lieberman (I-CT) 0 11.42%

Any guesses as to the national popular vote margins in this scenario?

She has redrawn the boundaries of the 50 states, resulting in Democrats winning the electoral college in 2016.

[bagelman]

2016 with different states, created by allowing current ones to aggressively migrate south. The results are pretty much the same, other than in VA where Dem running mate Tim Kaine broke free of the spell and campaigned harder in the suburbs of his (new) home state. When the spell wore off the democratic party was victorious.

Top map is how I redrew the states, bottom map is the EC result. I flipped Idaho and Wyoming by ceding Seattle and Denver to them, respectively.

[Blackacre]

(could somebody translate these into atlas maps? Might be hard because I closed the tabs before I could get info on the EV counts for these states)





Using the existing EC I was able to get both candidates to >=400 electoral votes and a more favourable senate.

edit: why does imgur do this
