Post Random Maps Here 2.0.

[morgankingsley]

Am I allowed to post a map or two here if I plan on doing a alternate history timeline that covers all the way from 1788 to like 2032 or something like that. Anyways, here is one that I find interesting

1896 Bryan wins

[morgankingsley]

My first full on map here. One showing trump winning by a large margin in 2020. This is for my timeline I plan on making later. The larger numbers show that the electoral college is now changed on now the districts are proportional to the smallest state population.

[morgankingsley]

These are some elections in a book I am making and I will be starting this post from 1980. I will go until 2000 on this post, and my next post will be from 2004 to 2020. If you want to know more about the elections pre 1980 in my timeline, I will make more posts aside from these two in twenty year intervals or so (so like 1960 to 1976 or 1940 to 1956 and I think you get the idea from there) although it will probably be in reverse chronological order if you don't mind. Anyways here is the real maps.

--------

1980 Carter loses by a somewhat more respectable margin

Carter - 161 electoral votes 43 percent popular vote

Reagan - 363 electoral votes 46 percent popular vote

Anderson - 14 electoral votes 11 percent popular vote

I gave Carter every state he only lost by less than five percent in and since John Anderson died this month, and he was a truly good candidate in my opinion, I decided to be nice and let him get Massachusetts since he had his best showing there. Carter even then still loses by about 200 electoral votes.

-----

1984 Hart wins the nomination instead of Mondale

Reagan - 396 electoral votes 52 percent popular vote

Hart - 142 electoral votes 48 percent popular vote

------

1988

Dukakis actually wins this time

Dukakis - 280 electoral votes 50 percent popular vote

Bush - 268 electoral votes 50 percent popular vote

-----

1992 but a blow out

Clinton - 498 electoral votes 48 percent popular vote

Kevin (pretty much the Perot of my book) - 32 electoral votes 22 percent popular vote

Bush - 8 electoral votes 30 percent popular vote

I gave this Kevin guy every state that he earned at least 25 percent of the vote in while giving Clinton every state that Bush only won by less than percent with the exception of third party states giving what is in this universe only the third time a third party got second in the electoral college (in my book along with 1912 George Wallace does so as well)

-----

1996 Dole does better

Clinton - 291 electoral votes 51 percent popular vote

Dole - 247 electoral votes 49 percent popular vote

----

2000 results reversed

Gore - 271 electoral votes 47 percent popular vote

Bush - 267 electoral votes 48 percent popular vote

In this timeline, Bush wins the popular vote but loses the electoral college, so the opposite of real life

The democrats finally manage to win Alaska for the second time ever, but due to them trying so hard to win the state, the republican came in and swept every other state

[morgankingsley]

Coolidge - 322 Electoral Votes / 47 percent popular vote
Davis - 201 Electoral Votes / 32 Percent Popular Vote
Lafollette - 56 Electoral Votes / 21 percent popular vote

[morgankingsley]

Herbert Hoover - 356 Electoral Votes / 54 percent popular vote
Al Smith - 223 Electoral Votes / 45 percent popular vote

[morgankingsley]

Will update FDR and Hoovers popular / electoral later

[morgankingsley]

Just enough to give them the victory for the democrats

[morgankingsley]

FDR - 483 electoral votes / 53 percent popular vote

Herbert Hoover - 155 electoral votes / 45 percent popular vote

[morgankingsley]

2016 results if Trump won 48.1 percent and Hillary 45.9 percent, so if it were the other way around

----

2016 if Trump actually won an absolute majority of the popular vote. Like say 51 percent to 43 percent

[morgankingsley]

2016 with majorities flipped

[morgankingsley]

2016 with majorities flipped

And just about everything else, I see.

yeah I am surprised at how many majorities there. Each candidate only had a pularity in like 5-6 states

[morgankingsley]

I was making a blue Dems/red GOP joke, but all right.

Oh whoops lol. I literally would have never even had a hint of that meaning. Still a interesting observation I never realized until today though just how many states both sides have pretty much have locked in support no matter who the candidate is and that only like ten states really matter in the long run

[morgankingsley]

Hillary Clinton - 537 electoral votes
Donald Trump - 1 electoral vote

[morgankingsley]

Hillary Clinton - 535 electoral votes
Donald Trump - 3 electoral votes

[morgankingsley]

Hillary Clinton - 531 electoral votes
Donald Trump - 7 electoral votes

[morgankingsley]

Trump wins the election carrying 45 states to Hillary Clinton and independent incumbent Mitt Romney

In case you wonder why this happened all I have to say is "Aw well, in this timeline Billy Bush died in 1994"

2016 In My Novel
Credit to Muon2 for making the electoral votes of each state

Business Man Donald Trump / Minnesota Senator Todd Robinson - 879 electoral votes, 49.7 percent popular vote

Secretary of state Hillary Clinton / Senator Tim Kaine - 355 electoral votes , 39.9 percent popular vote

Former Vice President George W Bush / Independent Evan McMullin - 10 electoral votes, 10.4 percent popular vote

Closest state was Connecticut, where Hillary won by only 600 votes for Hillary and the closest state for Trump was Illinois, where Trump won by 16,000 votes.

The biggest victory for Hillary was Massachusetts, where she won by 9 percent, and the biggest state for Trump was Minnesota, where he won 98.8 percent of the vote compared to Bush's 1.1 percent and Hillary only getting 0.1 percent.

Bush won the state of the president he served under with a easy 54 percent victory, and got two percent away from winning Utah, 2.7 from Arizona, 3.1 from Montana, 3.7 from Nevada, and 4.2 from Idaho. Everywhere else he finished third in.

[morgankingsley]

LaFollette wins every single state he got over 20 percent in and I gave Davis the two states he lost by less than 5 percent. Coolidge wins by the bare minimum

[morgankingsley]

Wallace wins every state he got over 20 percent in, throws election to house

[morgankingsley]

any maps which illustrate a landslide Republican victory in 2016?

It says 2020, but same idea:


I made this a while ago, so there's a fair deal of quirks (i.e. Middlesex County, CT would probably vote Republican before Allegheny County, PA).

How many electoral votes would this be

[morgankingsley]

The 1904 election shocked the entire world. Roosevelt was a massively popular president who was basically expected to steal the election from the get go. Some even thought that some states in the south would flip to him. However, after the convention, Parker went on the road and traveled across the country, to seal up every south electoral vote, win his home state, get a few electoral votes from the north east, and close in some gap on the western states that while he knew he wouldn't win, he could at least bring the margins down. In election night, he won the election with a mere four electoral votes more than Roosevelt, and one more than needed to win. The popular vote was only 1.2 percent of a victory for him. At age 80, his vice president Henry Davis was the oldest person to become president or vice president.

-I know this is unrealistic, I was just bored-

[morgankingsley]

Trump - 320 electoral votes
Hillary - 218 electoral votes

Minnesota goes to Trump here due to McMullin not running and those votes go to him by default, getting the state by about 10K votes or so, and New Hampshire since it was so close, Trump stopping there once more could have given him it. As a result, instead of losing the popular vote by 2.1 percent, it is about 1.5 percent or so.

How 1992 should have been

[morgankingsley]

1976 without playboy?

But the playboy incident rocked
