1996 United States Presidential Election

So I guess all the Nader voters will decide the election if and when this goes to the House. This'll be fun.

And the Buchananites/Browneites. I guess it's Perot all the way.

Actually Cuomo is winning by three votes, so it is far from guaranteed that this will even go to the House

Although don't we have a sort of unofficial 35% cutoff point?

In all likelihood, the election will go to the House. In an election like, say, 1944, I orchestrated the House election. If there were, say, a three-way tie for first like in 1912, the "House election" would be left up to "the people" to decide. Given the current results, it would likely be decided by myself at this point.

Also, given the results of the Reform Party and the (lack of) difference between Nader's and Perot's colors, there may be some shuffling come the time I have to put up the map. I'm sure no one will mind.

Cuomo is pulling off!

[Supersonic]

Cuomo will win, and the GOP died this time around. The only official party opposition are the Greens. Good Lord..

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

Cuomo/Sanders compromise ticket!

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

Also, it looks like Buchanan is on track to have the lowest percentage by a major party candidate ever, beating Al Smith, who got 7.7% in 1924.

Cuomo/Sanders compromise ticket!

And then Sanders/Feingold 2000!

[Donerail]

Ain't hegemony fun?

I'd imagine that 2000 McCain would be a strong candidate.

[Lief 🗽]

Looks like the most right-wing of the three major candidates will pull this off. Shameful.

It's OK, we can have Nader 2000 (or, as hoped for in my earlier post, Sanders 2000).

The PV amounts seem to be about the same as they were in 1916, and TR won the EV there by a rather large margin.

Cuomo? How is he right-wing?

[Goldwater]

Even with Nader splitting the left wing vote and conservative, libertarians, and moderate uniting behind Perot, the Democrats somehow win again...

Ridiculous thing to say. How is Cuomo more right-wing than Perot? This isn't his son....

Cuomo is splitting the left wing vote, he also got quite a few moderate and right-wing supporters.

I don't think the one who got more votes is "splitting the vote".

[Antonio the Sixth]

So what do we do with this? Cath?

Cuomo won - the 2000 primaries are up.

The 1996 United States Presidential Election
In the single closest election in United States history that had not gone to the House, President Cuomo secured re-election. With the Republicans in utter collapse and Reform nominee Ross Perot instead picking up a large part of Republican support, and with the nation's left-wing defecting to Nader, Cuomo was forced to play to the center and thanks to a strong electoral investment in the Mid-West, he was able to win the race against Nader and Perot. Many called the results "entirely unrealistic", but the fact was, that when the votes were tallied, somehow, Cuomo had a majority of the popular vote. Weird, right? And even weirder since he'd already copied the map to paint and it would take a long time to correct it.

President Mario Cuomo (Democrat-New York)/Secretary of Energy Edmund G. "Jerry" Brown, Jr. (Democrat-California) 274 electoral votes, 34.8% of the popular vote
Mr. Ralph Nader (Green-Connecticut)/Congressman Bernie Sanders (Green-Vermont) 137 electoral votes, 27.3% of the popular vote
Mr. H. Ross Perot (Reform-Texas)/Former Mayor Jesse Ventura (Reform-Minnesota) 127 electoral votes, 25.8% of the popular vote
Mr. Patrick J. "Pat" Buchanan (Republican-Virginia)/Former Governor Evan Mecham (Republican-Arizona) 6.1% of the popular vote
Mr. Harry Browne (Libertarian-Tennessee)/Ms. Jo Jorgensen (Libertarian-South Carolina) 6.1% of the popular vote

I've got to say, despite how disappointed I am in the results, that map looks pretty cool.
