[bagelman]

Experiment to get NY to vote Trump. The result is a sprawling state. NJ has a northern panhandle, Philly and Wilmington are part of the state of Delaware, not to be confused with the low population lean R state of Delmarva (DM). Baltimore and Arlington are part of the heavily Afro-American state of Potomac (PT). Virginia and West Virginia look like culturally distinct twins. The Canton half of the Akron-Canton metro is part of west NY, as is Portage County. Pittsburgh is the only Democratic voting area added to NY.

Obama won NY (by about 900K) and OH (about 100K) in 2012.

Any context on any of the elections, especially this one?

In 1996 Yates is like a Clinton-like figure except he's from the north, and ran against two moderate Republicans. Yates was popular, but Irving was a very popular, well-known elder statesman type who crafted an Eisenhower-y image for himself and remained broadly popular. Hexbane was the golden child of the Republicans, but she didn't really live up to their expectations, à la Haley or Rubio. Galdamez was a leftist populist who did surprisingly well in '12, and Kiely was a charismatic, young guy who ran on rebuilding infrastructure, especially across the Midwest and the West. Fmr. VP Jeong was the frontrunner for 2016 but then in 2015 he was revealed to be part of an attempted (failed) coup that, however, succeeded in killing the President. Parkhill carried on his legacy and brought the still-popular (especially in hindsight) Yates on the ticket to show strength. By 2020 the R's had become less socially conservative and more moderate in the form of Guevara, and Kiely's Internal Improvements Secretary was broadly popular across the West. I was inspired by the world cookiedamage made and wanted to make something totally wild by our standards, yet still plausible

[bagelman]

I had a dream that the 2020 election came early- like, end of 2017 early. i just woke up one morning and saw results. I was surprised by it all. The election was Trump vs. Heitkamp; Trump won the EC while Heitkamp won a PV majority (I think?). Trump somehow lost ND and SD to Heitkamp while winning MN.

Also, the map on Wikipedia had "normal" colors for the Dem wins and GOP wins, but the little color bar beneath Trump and Heitkamp's portraits were the Atlas colors for the parties. Again, for some reason.

2017 US Special Presidential Election

President Donald Trump / Vice President Mike Pence 293 EV

Senator Heidi Heitkamp / Senator Kristen Gillibrand  245 EV

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

1960
Following a contentious first few rounds of ballots between Vice President Lausche and Secretary of Defense Nixon, favorite son Governor Cecil Underwood emerged as the compromise nominee for the Republicans, with Secretary of State Nelson Rockefeller nominated for Vice President as a means to draw continuity between the ticket and the Eisenhower administration. The Democrats meanwhile nominated primary victor Hubert Humphrey with Majority Leader Lyndon John for Vice President. Governor Underwood, young, charismatic, and used to using the new medium of television to communicate to his constituents, displayed far better delivery during the televised debates. Despite hemorrhaging votes in the Northeast, Goldwater made up for it in what commentators called a "coalition of the Sun Belt and Peoria".

Governor Cecil Harland Underwood (Republican-West Virginia)/Secretary of State Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller (Republican-New York) 292 electoral votes
Senator Hubert Horatio Humphrey (Democrat-Minnesota)/Senate Majority Leader Lyndon Baines Johnson (Democrat-Texas) 216 electoral votes

1964
Despite beginning his term with an early triumph in the form of Fidel Castro's ousting in Cuba, Underwood had four years for his abrasive style of politics and his inexperience in foreign affairs to undermine his credibility as an executive. Nevertheless, he rallied Republicans across the nation in opposition to the Democrats' "exorbitant" spending proposals enough to make the election reasonably close.

Senate Majority Leader Lyndon Baines Johnson (Democrat-Texas)/Senator Robert Francis Kennedy (Democrat-Massachusetts) 331 electoral votes
President Cecil Harland Underwood (Republican-West Virginia)/Vice President Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller (Republican-New York)

1968
The 1968 Republican convention was very much a reunion of 1960's cast of characters. Nixon was by that point in his first term as Governor of California; while Rockefeller had not yet won elected statewide office in New York, he has kept his profile alive and well through thinktanks and foundations. Nevertheless, they both lacked the energy of the Goldwater campaign. Charging the frontrunners with complicity in the Johnson administration's foreign policy "debacle", channeling voter rage at domestic unrest, and igniting a right that had been suppressed for years, Goldwater won a first round victory at the RNC in Florida. With the nation facing fears of inflation at home and stress at the thought of defeat abroad, the Goldwater candidacy found itself further buoyed by Democratic vote-splitting in the Upper South.

Senator Barry Morris Goldwater (Republican-Arizona)/Governor Spiro Theodore Agnew (Republican-Maryland) 294 electoral votes
President Lyndon Baines Johnson (Democrat-Texas)/Vice President Robert Francis Kennedy (Democrat-Massachusetts)
Others: 27 electoral votes

If we're talking about election fever dreams, here's one I had in October of 2016. I still don't remember a lot of the eastern chunk of the country, but I do remember Michigan and NH going for Trump while SC went for Hillary (!).

I was also studying the Oregon territory at the time, so in my dream I feel like I recall WA, OR, and ID being one state.

2020: Eminem vs the Donald

Gov. Marshall B. Mathers III (D-MI)/Sen. Krysten Sinema (D-AZ): 299 Electoral Votes, 50.1%
Pres. Donald Trump (R-NY)/VP. Mike Pence (R-IN): 239 Electoral Votes, 46.7%

In late 2016, a recall election is scheduled in Michigan, coinciding with the 2016 Presidential Election. While Donald Trump narrowly carries Michigan against Hillary Clinton, “Eminem” is elected Governor, bringing Dan Kildee along as Lieutenant Governor, partially rapping in a debate with Governor Snyder about his handling of the Flint Water Crisis. Eminem becomes the leading critic to Donald Trump throughout his administration, going to many music awards to bash him. After winning re-election in 2018 with a landslide, he takes it as a blessing from the people of Michigan to run for President. He throws his hat into the ring and roasts his Democratic opponents as being “corporatist” on the stage, and reveals a lot about his upbringing. He wins the Nomination carrying most of the states, and decides to select freshman Senator Krysten Sinema as running mate. President Trump tries to portray Eminem’s past and previous life as a weapon against him in the debates, and Eminem completely roasts him about the state of the country and his administration. Rural White America is insulted, but the rest of the country agrees. On the campaign trail, Mike Pence and Paul Ryan attempt to rap but fails miserably, being criticized by Eminem who was also in Wisconsin at the time. On Election Night, the presidency is called for the Governor of Michigan, and many days later, Pennsylvania was called for Trump by fifteen votes.

[bagelman]

This is 2016 if states had swung the same way as their counties that swung furthest towards Clinton or least towards Trump. In this election, the Republicans nominated someone with the same authoritarian and crass tones of Trump, but forgot to make him appealing to blue collar rust belt voters, instead he doubled down on tired old southern fried social conservatism. He's also just plain less charismatic all around. The Democrats nominate a candidate that combines the best part of the socially liberal Obama era with a friendlier message to WCWs, promising to make health care reform simpler and more effective at the same time. Democrats do well in both north and south. Meanwhile, a third party libertarian candidate doubles Johnson's share of the vote with decent support nationwide but massive mountain west popularity, so popular in Idaho the GOP vote in split and Democrats get their biggest surprise there.

This map works well as a 2020 possibility, with Trump a failure and the Democrats finding the Goldilocks zone between the sunbelt and rustbelt strategies, helped out by the third party vote. 

Map shows the situation the morning after, with AZ the only state too close to call, and ME-02 as well.
