Massive Perot swing

President-Elect Bill Clinton: 183 EV
Ross Perot: 255 EV
George HW Bush: 100 EV

[LLR]

Former Governor George Pataki (R-NY)/Senator Chuck Hagel (R-NE) - 50.5%, 306 EVs
President John Edwards (D-NC)/Vice President Max Cleland (D-GE) - 47.9%, 232 EVs

When neither candidate wins their home state.

[LLR]

1840:

Democrats: Martin Van Buren/Richard Johnson
Whig: William Henry Harrison/John Tyler
Northern Whig: Daniel Webster/Oliver H Smith

Things progress as in OTL: Harrison dies, Tyler is appointed but becomes unpopular with Whigs all around.

1844

Democrats: James Polk/George Dallas - 184 EVs
Northern Whig/Liberty: Theodore Freylinghuysen/Samuel Phelps - 76 EVs
Whig: Henry Clay/John Calhoun - 15 EVs

The Whig party fractures fully into the Liberty (Northern Whig) and Loyalist (Whig) parties. The presidency of Polk is a time of resurgence - except for Polk, who retires.

1848:

Democrats/Free Soil (Coalition): Martin Van Buren/William Butler - 112 EVs
Liberty: Abbott Lawrence/Millard Fillmore - 153 EVs
Loyalist: Zachary Taylor/Andrew Stewart - 25 EVs

I'll continue this later.

List of presidents:
William Henry Harrison (1841-1841)
John Tyler (1841-1845)
James Polk (1845-1849)
Abbott Lawrence (1849-???)

List of VPs
John Tyler (1841-1841)
Winfield Scott (1841-1842) -elected to appease the southern part of the party
Theodore Freylinghuysen (1842-1845) -appointed as an act of rebellion: Freylinghuysen was a Liberty party member, and while Tyler remained an independent, it was clear where his heart was.
George Dallas (1845-1849)
Andrew Stewart (1849-???)

The Presidency of Abbott Lawrence: A Continuation

President Lawrence has pushed an anti-slavery agenda, and many in the south are rebelling and rioting. The Democrats, now the main opposition to the Liberty Party, are careful to oppose this. Many claim that Lawrence is "toast" in the next election, but he maintains that he can win.

1852

Democrat: Franklin Pierce/Sam Houston - 109 EVs
Liberty: Abbott Lawrence/Millard Fillmore - 153 EVs
Loyalist: Edward Bates/William Graham - 34 EVs

1856
Vice president Fillmore obtains the Liberty nomination, while William Bates does the same for the Democrats. The Loyalist, hoping to get more recognition, nominate a Californian named John Fremont.

Democrat: William O. Butler/Stephen Douglas 152 EVs
Liberty: Millard Fillmore/Rufus Choate 131 EVs
Loyalist: John Fremont/William Graham 4 EVs
(Faithless Electors): Sterling Price/(unknown) 9 EVs

1860

But that was the last time the Loyalists would contest an election. The party folded, with most Loyalists joining the Democratic Party. The presidency of General William Butler was not a good one,  and the "incompetent" Butler was almost forced to resign. VP Douglas, in disagreement and embarrassment, did resign. He was replaced by John Breckinridge. With the nation in a tailspin, the Liberty Party turned to Illinois Senator Abraham Lincoln. (Note: the libertys are now blue)

Democrats: William Butler/John Breckinridge 115 EVs
Liberty: Abraham Lincoln/Hannibal Hamlin 188 EVs

Lincoln's proud anti-slavery policies, much harsher than those of Lawrence, angered the South. By the time of the 1864 election, many states had seceded. What will happen in the Civil War? Find out when I'm motivated enough to post this again!

Based on some silly scenario I found on another forum.

Something about New Yorkers and Chicagoans moving to Florida and California?

JBE vs. Generic Republican?

[LLR]

2004: Howard Dean vs. George W Bush
"Nebraska Matters"

Sen. Howard Dean (D-VT)/Sen. Tom Daschle (D-SD) 270 EVs, 49.2%
Pres. George W Bush (R-TX)/VP Dick Cheney (R-WY) 268 EVs, 48.6%

2008: Howard Dean vs. John McCain

Pres. Howard Dean (D-VT)/VP Tom Daschle (D-SD) 289 EVs, 50.3%
Sen. John McCain (R-AZ)/Gov. Mike Huckabee (R-AR) 249 EVs, 48.8%

2012: Bernie Sanders vs. Mike Huckabee vs. Michael Bloomberg

VP Barack Obama (D-IL)/Gov. Brian Schweitzer (D-MT) 218 EVs, 46.2%
Gov. John Kasich (R-OH)/Gov. Bobby Jindal (R-LA) 320 EVs, 53%

A weird thought experiment leading to a crazy geographic shift and presidents Sanders and Kasich

2020 race ratings: (Kasich vs. random Dem)

261-236

Clinton and Trump (26)     Clinton only (4)    Trump only (11)     Neither (11)

* Republican primary/caucus occurred after Trump became the presumptive nominee
^ No Republican primary/caucus

Texas didn't vote for Trump...

Decided to make a random map of a potential election match up of two political parties. the green colored party can be center to center-left and the blue can be the center to center-right party.

You guys can try and figure out what coalitions of voters supported each party if you want.

What're those orange counties in Virginia?

[LLR]

Joe Biden/Jon Huntsman 486 EVs/69.5%
David Duke/Sarah Palin 52 EVs/29.1%

[LLR]

Let's try this with the original purpose of the thread...

This one isn't very hard.

[LLR]

Wilson 1912 states based on how often they voted Democratic 1896-1908?

Very close. It does have to do with 1912, and some or all of the 1896-1908 elections.

[LLR]

1908 vs. 1996

(Because of significant third-party totals, if both won the state, whoever's margin, not vote share, was highest wins the state)

Bill Clinton/Al Gore 296 EVs
William Taft/James Sherman 216 EVs

[LLR]

Ann Richards vs. Slade Gorton?

[LLR]

Tried to get MA as polarized as I could... Blue is 55-44-2 Obama-Romney-Other (2008 results), green is 71(!)-28-2.



Same with NY- blue is almost tied (51-48-1), while green is 76-22-1.

Does this go in a different thread?

Not sure that this is the right place (TimTurner's "DRA stuff" thread might be better) but that's super cool. Your maps are great, dude.

A hypothetical election between Libertarian and Authoritarian parties. Note: the tickets are placeholders and I didn't even attempt to do home-state/home-region effects.

Evan Bayh (A-IN)/Dean Heller (A-NV) 271 EVs
Justin Amash (L-MI)/Kirsten Gillibrand (L-NY) 267 EVs

Battleground Map:

[LLR]

Based on current results:

Clinton + Johnson vs. Trump + Others

(PA and FL are both 50.01% to 49.99%)

Trump + Johnson vs. Clinton + Others

(UT is 50.01% to 49.99%)

[LLR]

1888: CO holds a popular vote

Sam Tilden 187 EVs, 50.9%
Rutherford Hayes 182 EVs, 47.7%

Some people in the Tilden camp wanted him to challenge possible fraudulent results in FL, LA, and SC, but he uttered the now-famous line: "Why waste your complaints on victory?"

[LLR]

1. AL

Richard Shelby 337 EVs, 50.2%
Ron Crumpton 198 EVs, 41%
Jill Stein 3 EVs, 7%

2. AK

Lisa Murkowski 256 EVs, 39.7%
Ray Metcalfe 150 EVs, 28.5%
Margaret Stock 78 EVs, 15%
Joe Miller 54 EVs, 13.6%

Some of Florida, Arizona and Michigan's electors go faithless for Murkowski, giving her the necessary 273

More to come...

[LLR]

3. AR

John Boozman 337 EVs, 52%
Conner Eldridge 201 EVs, 42%
Frank Gilbert 0 EVs, 5%

2024:

321: Governor Jared Kushner/Senator Carlos Curbelo - 50.1%
217: VP Joaquin Castro/Senator Anthony Foxx - 44.2%
Others - 5.7%

What the sh**t?

This is slightly feasible as a 2048 map, and even then... what???

Everything about this map... just... ugh.

[LLR]

How I think a nationwide marijuana referendum would play out:

No: 57.1%
Yes: 42.9%

[LLR]

urban vs. less urban

278-260

Connecticut and Utah are more urban than Pennsylvania, Detroit, Ohio, and Georgia?

[LLR]

Shred Brown (D-OH)/Steve Bullock (D-MT): 398 EV (51.0%)
Donald Trump (R-NY)/Mike Pence (R-IN): 134 EV: (43.5%)
Evan McMullin (I-UT)/Mindy Finn (I-TX): 6 EV : 4.4%
Gary Johnson (L-NM)/Bill Weld (L-MA): 0 EV: 4.0%
Jill Stein/Ajuma Baraka: 0 EV (0.5%)
Others: 1.1%

If this happened I would be so elated
