Senator "Pitchfork Ben" Tillman of South Carolina uses his influence to hastily organize a Dixiecrat movement.  The Governors of South Carolina, Mississippi, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, Texas, and Arkansas all call their legislatures into special session to consider passing laws that return the selection of electors to the legislature.  South Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Florida pass laws that make the change permanent while Texas approves the change for only 1904, and Georgia passes a law that gives the legislature the choice when a candidate dies.  Three other States, North Carolina, Vermont, and Oklahoma will end up adopting a law similar to Georgia's after the election.

Two Points:
1. I hadn't intended to have Tillman run for election, but rather a strategy more like the unpledged electors of the 1960 election.
2. You need to correct your map PB.  Hearst can't be elected VP in the Senate if the Progressives come in third in the EC.
