State vote tied to passport ownership

2008:

Hillary Clinton 351-187 John McCain

Hillary Clinton runs better in the early game and has a sizable lead by the time Obama gets his name out there. She chooses some generic neoliberal as her running mate and easily defeats McCain as expected.

Hillary Clinton 303-Mitt Romney 235

2012 is pretty similar to ours, with Clinton actually gaining a state (VA) while on the defense. GOP congress and such. Romney's too aloof and upper class to pull it off.

David Becerra (R-FL) / Mike Pence (R-IN) 326 EV

Barack Obama (D-IL) / Generic Dem (D-MA)

David Becerra becomes the first Latin American president. The biggest issue of this campaign is relations with Europe, with Obama supporting strong relations with Europe and Becerra supporting better ties with the third world and east asia and competing against Europe for these markets. His economic policy is somewhat protectionist.

I daydreamed that this could be 2020, Sanders/Brown vs. Pence/Haley

The Republicans are taken over by a pan-protestant movement who want to abolishes separation of church and state to enact Protestant Christianity as the official state religion. All protestant Christians within the country support this, and everyone else opposes and votes Democrat. The Democrats win 289-249.

2016 voter turnout map

[bagelman]

Based on a map from the Mises Institute, posted on reddit by an avid Anarcho-Capitalist. Red states are in the highest quintile of "cost of living adjusted poverty" while those in blue, fabulously wealthy states like West Virginia, are below the second quintile of this metric. Grey states are in the second quintile.

2016 election without any counties named Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, Jackson, or Lincoln

PA margin is 2,789,510 Democratic votes, 2,789,913 GOP votes - Trump leads by 403. It will have to go through recounts, and the whole election is on the line...

What about Feingold/McGinty/Kander?

Feingold: Loses 49.44-47.54

Kander: Loses 50.87-44.8. Jackson County (Kansas City) had been good to him.

McGinty: Loses 48.32-47.85

Nothing but disappointment here.

2016 without any county that didn't vote or caucus for Trump in the GOP primaries, whether they voted for someone else or didn't vote at all.

United States of I-55

Obviously, the EC would not even be allowed to be used once in a situation where one state holds an electoral majority. Such a country might adopt a unicameral congress with a executive elected by popular vote, or may even go down the parliamentary route.

(Kansas's Lane County was thrown into OK)

2008 with only counties that voted for McCain in the GOP primaries (or at least tied with McCain) existing.

Reasonable, if pessimistic, result for Sanders:

Yes, I gave Trump MO and GA, and yes, I realize that's unrealistic.

The election of 133110:

You have reposted this same map, or what seems like it, over and over and over again for like a year now.
