I am fairly sure that even though there were less electoral votes in play in 1864 than there was supposed to be due to secession, the amount of electoral votes a candidate needed to win was still constitutionally based on the larger electoral vote total that was allocated to every state, both those in secession and those still in the union by the 1860 census (which Lincoln managed to obtain this larger total regardless). I think the same would apply when the House and Senate would choose a president if things got to the step, meaning a revote would therefore be required if the latter map ended up actually happening.

Quite possibly. The language of the 12th Amendment states that "a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed" shall be necessary to elect a president outright, but that "a majority of all the states shall be necessary to a choice" in the event of a contingent election in the House: that seems to suggest that abstentions do not count towards a majority in the electoral college, but do in the House. Looking at the partisan composition of the House after the 1858 elections, it's unlikely anyone would have been able to easily muster a majority in the House, putting us in uncharted territory constitutionally (as the rule that the VP becomes Acting President in absence of a president-elect was not yet in place).

This batch are how the the states voted by the popular vote of the Senate within the last decade. Oregon to right of North Carolina is a bit weird to imagine now huh.

Same with New Hampshire vs WV.

It’s clearly a more Republican favored 2008 Senate election

Fixed.

EDIT: Messed up Florida 2018, will fix later. Either way, despite Nelson outperforming Gillum in raw percentages and numbers, Gillum was clearly running in a less D-friendly environment than Nelson.

Horrific nightmare I had last night, 2020.

Biden vs Trump but Biden has a major #MeToo scandal a couple weeks before the election.

[America Needs a 13-6 Progressive SCOTUS]

Horrific nightmare I had last night, 2020.

The nightmare never allowed me to find out the details of who the Democratic Ticket was, and neither did I find out any details of the results of downballot races. I assumed though that Republicans took back the House handily and that there was no net change in the Senate with just Alabama and Colorado flipping as my estimate during the nightmare. The nightmare also never gave me information about the national popular vote, but I assumed Democrats won that very narrowly.
