Another "Election maps of previous posters" thread

[John Dule]

The other one seems to be getting a little confusing, so if you guys are willing, let's try this:

1) If there are two posters above you, one who leans left and one who leans right, make a general election map between the two of them.

2) If there are two posters above you who both lean right (or left), make a primary election map between the two of them.

3) If there are multiple posters above you from the same party, feel free to create a primary election involving all of them.

So for example, if the posters before me were Hillgoose and Sanchez:



Republican Primary

Sanchez: 37 states
Hillgoose: 13 states

Hillgoose gets off to a good start by winning New Hampshire and Nevada, but torpedoes his campaign after advocating for global thermonuclear war with every single non-western-style-democracy on the planet.

Extreme Republican: 271
Peebs: 267

An extremely contentious campaign in which both candidates attempt to paint the other as a wingnut extremist. ER wins the electoral college but loses the popular vote by over 1%.

I think this would be a very weird primary. FairBol is the more right-wing candidate but also has appeal among northeastern moderates. West Midlander is the moderate, and he comes from the south. I think this would shake up a lot of the regional trends, with FairBol running a more Trumpist campaign while WM tries to appeal to moderates, independents, and suburbanites. Ultimately I think FairBol is more in line with the modern GOP, so I think the win goes to him, but a lot of these states could be close.

I'll bump this thread, since I like these new maps a lot and there isn't currently a thread going with this exact premise.



In a Democratic Primary, three wings of the party face off against one another for the nomination-- the socialist left (represented by KaiserDave), the moderate left (Thumb), and the authoritarian left (S019). The election is competitive from beginning to end, though Thumb ultimately manages to break through at the end with a series of decisive wins in the Midwest. Phil Scott's endorsement for KaiserDave makes Vermont his best state, and he generally performs well in the urbanized coastal areas. S019 finds his best margins in states where people's favorite pastime is getting their neighbors arrested for wasting water with their sprinkler systems.
