Methodology

In the 2016 U.S. presidential election, of the total number of votes cast for one of the two major parties, the main rightist party (GOP) won approximately 49% and the main leftist party (Dem) won approximately 51%. These percentages were adjusted by a margin of -3 and 3 respectively, utilizing a uniform nationwide swing, to reflect the share of the vote afforded to the two principal rightist parties (LR, FN) and three principal leftist parties (PS, FI, EM) in the most recent national opinion polls of the 2017 French presidential election. These recalculated totals were then divided proportionally among the various candidates of the right and left, according to the share they currently claim of the overall "rightist" and "leftist" vote. For instance, Emanuel Macron is supported by 48% of those who plan to support one of the three primary leftist parties in the first round of the general election, and is therefore awarded a national total of 26% (0.48 x 54 = 26).

George Wallace Bush's

Who?

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

Brown/Moulton: 325 (50.4%)

Pence/Ernst: 213 (45.7%)

Why would Pence select Ernst as his running mate while her seat will be up for re-election in 2020 since Iowa is among the battleground states unlike Joe Biden's seat in Delaware in 2008 when Obama selected him as his running mate?

He knew Iowa was already lost to the GOP, on account of the brilliant and charismatic Democratic senatorial nominee, William J. Rutherford.

Bernie Sanders (D-VT) - 233 EV, 60,844,201 (45.5%) PV

Please help me explain how the heck this happened.

After successfully hacking the DNC's email servers, Russian agents (or maybe a three-hundred-pound guy in his basement, who knows?) move on to their next target: Atlas forum. In the media fallout resulting from the release of logs dating back to 2004, the public is transfixed by the posting history of one man, bronz4141, who becomes seen as a voice of reason in turbulent times. At last able to see that "both sides do it," the enlightened masses stride boldly to the polls on election day, scrawl "I am an independent" across their ballots, then close their eyes and mark a box at random. The result is a large electoral majority for Rubio, to whose name the voters' pens were magnetically drawn by the choice of Soothing Midwesterner Harold Stassen (RIP-MN) for vice president.

2000:

Don Sundquist (R-TN)/Newt Gingrich (R-GA):
280/47.41%
Jerry Brown (D-CA)/John Kerry (D-MA): 258/48.44%

Election too close to call for several days because of Wisconsin being within 250 votes. It was originally a Electoral tie because WI went to Brown but on November 16th, it was decided that WI would go to Sundquist with just a 70 vote lead.

Who was the third candidate in Wisconsin, and why did their campaign not register similar support (at least 20%, given that Sundquist carried it with >40% of the vote) in other states?

1860:

Brecekenridge/Lane: 170/50.8%
Lincoln/Hamlin: 133/49.2%

If Breckinridge has carried Minnesota, it is inconceivable that he would not also carry the other free states outside of New England. For Lincoln to carry Indiana (a hotbed of pro-Southern sentiment in actual history—one of our senators was expelled from office in 1861 for selling arms to Jefferson Davis) but not Minnesota (the most heavily Republican state in 1860 outside of New Englands), especially against someone as rabidly pro-slavery as Breckinridge, just doesn't make any sense.

Also, Thomas Hendricks died in 1885, and Gilded Age Republican bastions like Pennsylvania and Maine would have been the last states to flip to the Socialists (heck, even FDR at the height of his popularity lost the vote in Maine. Historically, Debs and the SPUSA were strongest in the western states.

How does Trump lose West Virginia while carrying Pennsylvania?
