Maybe map would look like 1996 with Clinton states = Adams states.
But if the election were held with todays format -- with primary campaigning like we have been seeing -- then I doubt Jefferson would be the nominee.
Let's say that the 1796 election is held today with today's map, the candidates having to take stands on today's issues, and let's also add that the VP rules are changed so there are actual running-mates.
Vice-President John Adams (F-MA)/Former Governor Thomas Pinckney (F-SC)
vs.
Former Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson (DR-VA)/Senator Aaron Burr (DR-NY)
Who wins? What does the map look like? I know it's a stretch, transporting people over 200 years forward in time and being judged by today's electorate, but any guesses?
