West Virginia may absolutely be in the liberal column, but I think LBJ would have won his homestate Texas in 1968. Maybe not on the 1970s, but in that year I almost don't see him losing there as long as he wins nationally.

1896: The Great Commoner

Going into the 1896 convention the nomination for the democrat to succeed Cleveland was contested. The bigwigs of the party came in and fought for control of the party with there own machines and there was very little doubt it would be one of these men. Representative Richard Bland of Missouri had been getting a upper hand towards the end of the ballots and was expected to secure a majority. However a rousing speech by little known congressmen from Nebraska William Jennings Bryan on Silver use was able to boost his name on the ballot and unexpectedly secured a upset over the democratic giants. His brass populism was not settling with many in the Cleveland bourbon democrats who represented moderation and liberal conservatism in economic affairs. With his winning of the nomination on the fifth ballot in order to ease tensions he choose the more establishmentarrian figure from Illinois John Palmer who was nearing 80. This was able to do its effect and while a partial "National Democratic Party" was founded by Simon B. Buckner, it failed to get much traction and remained a irrelevant force. Meanwhile on the Republican side, sensing victory after the Panic of 1893 many high level republicans ran. Out of all of them Ohio Governor William McKinley was able to defeat them all and elect Garret Hobart as Vice President. They sought to ally themselves with business and the professional classes distraught by Bryan's populism. The ensuing campaign was one to change most others. Bryan's main strategy of stump speeches and crisscrossing the country in rally's was new to a nation known for candidates using at home rally's which McKinley used. The Republicans attacked him as a dangerous religious fanatic and a reckless person in regards to the economy. Bryan on the other hand called the Republicans uninterested in the concerns of the average american and bought out by big business. In the end what did it for the Republicans was the sentiment that they didn't care for the average American. It was shown in the results, while McKinley won the wealthier and professional business class areas, Bryan won the Farmers and the Poor vote along with making inroads into industrial areas. Thus in the end William Jennings Bryan was able to do the impossible and narrowly beat McKinley to hold the presidency for the Democrats and usher in a new century under there rule.

William Jennings Bryan: 234 EV, 49.04%

William McKinley: 213 EV, 48.79%

[bagelman]

2016 with Johnson's raw votes * 10. Trump wins 299-216-23.

[bagelman]

Combined McMullin * 10 to Johnson doesn't change it either. 289-206-43 Trump.

Stein's vote * 10 added to Clinton changes things

324-184-30 Clinton

[bagelman]

Best efforts of a weak man

350-188 Clinton. 2016 with NM's margin, using a better method of calculation.

2016 with Utah's margin using the new method. 446-83-9.

[Dr. MB]

2016 election if each state was a mini electoral college and each county/parish/borough/etc got one electoral vote

Trump/Pence 432.5
Clinton/Kaine 105.5
I'm assigning 0.5 of a vote each to Clinton and Trump because one county in Nebraska's 2nd was won by each (Trump won Sarpy and Clinton won Douglas).

[Dr. MB]

2012 election with same logic above

Romney/Ryan 389
Obama/Biden 149

[Dr. MB]

2008

McCain/Palin 342.5
Obama/Biden 195.5

[Dr. MB]

2004

Bush/Cheney 482
Kerry/Edwards 56

[Dr. MB]

2000

Bush/Cheney 485
Gore/Lieberman 53

This would be a sure way to guarantee Republican victory every time.

[America Needs a 13-6 Progressive SCOTUS]

This would be a sure way to guarantee Republican victory every time.

Also beyond a doubt unconstitutional (supreme court might uphold such a measure if it apportioned value based on county population though)

[P. Clodius Pulcher did nothing wrong]

Former Secretary Hillary Clinton // Senator Tim Kaine - 405 votes, 61.73%
Donald Trump // Dr. Ben Carson - 34 votes, 31.62%

2016 with a nationwide margin = RL California's margin. aka how the election should have gone Interestingly enough, I discovered that in MI and WI Hillary outperformed her own percentage in MN, leading to the former 2 having a 60%+ margin and MN only being 50%+ (since the addition gave her 59.99% in MN)

[Dr. MB]

2016 if each Dem state voted for their primary winner and each GOP state voted for theirs

Hillary Clinton/Tim Kaine 205
Donald Trump/Mike Pence 185
Ted Cruz/Carly Fiorina 73
Bernie Sanders/Nina Turner 57
John Kasich/Brian Sandoval 18

A take-off on the Manchin vs Baker trope that is popular on AlternateHistory.com...

John Bel Edwards (D-LA) vs Phil Scott (R-VT)

and with swing/close states in green:

I found this on a now-defunct blog, and it's eerily accurate to the actual 2016 results.

[Kyle Rittenhouse is a Political Prisoner]

I found this on a now-defunct blog, and it's eerily accurate to the actual 2016 results.

What. They missed like half of county flips. They seem to just have done uniform swing by state from polling and used it as an end result.

I should clarify, some of the results are eerily accurate, not all of them.
 

[P. Clodius Pulcher did nothing wrong]

Vice Pres. Hubert H. Humphrey / Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D) - 267 votes, 45%
Fmr. Vice Pres. Richard M. Nixon / Gov. Spiro T. Agnew (R) - 226 votes, 42.8%
Fmr. Gov. George C. Wallace / Gen. Curtis LeMay (AI) - 12.2%

Humphrey campaigns as a proud liberal & also Nixon's interference in the peace talks becomes known publicly and the election is thrown into chaos until moderate Republicans team up with Democrats to elect Humphrey in the House

If the whole country voted like Wyoming:

[America Needs a 13-6 Progressive SCOTUS]

2012 Presidential Election with NPV reversed.

Minnesota is decided by less than .05%.
Mitt Romney barely fails to receive a majority in Colorado.
Electoral vote is 331-207 Romney.

Popular... to the point of being driven into the ground due to overuse.

The original map looked like this:

There wasn't a swing state map at first, but it would look like this:
