A world where the solid D south stayed solid somehow into the modern day. Candidates are made up

2016

Vice Pres. Lisa Matlock (D-Tennessee) / Sen. David VerHeulen (D-Michigan) • 270 votes, 49.6%
Sen. Darin Lawrence (R-Arizona) / Mayor Gisela Perdomo (R-New York) • 268 votes, 49.6%

If the South stayed solid, Georgia wouldn't be going Republican and neither would Texas. also Alabama and South Carolina wouldn't be this close.

Yeah, I was unsure about the specifics, but I wanted to make it a very close race, plus I figured the Atlanta suburbs would have the opposite effect that they do in real life; in our universe, the growing suburbs help the Dems, while in this universe they help the GOP. Same in Texas. In Florida's case, it had removed itself from the Solid D column by the end of the 1960s, so its political demographics wouldn't really have been effected by the whole "solid south remains" thing. I also just wanted to make a cool-looking map.

Here's a reversal of the scenario which I posted earlier. This is what the 1992 election would have looked like if all of the people who had voted for Ross Perot had gone for George H.W. Bush instead. Bush would win a landslide victory, though his percentage of the popular vote would be lower than Clinton's in the prior scenario. By my estimation, he loses New York by just 0.10% and Maryland by only 63 votes! Clinton, of course, still wins his home state of Arkansas, the only state which gave any candidate an absolute majority in OTL, as well as the always-Democratic D.C.:

President George H.W. Bush (R-TX)/Vice-President Danforth Quayle (R-IN)-486 EV-56.36%
Governor William Jefferson Clinton (D-AR)/Senator Albert Gore, Jr. (R-TN)-52 EV-43.01%

This looks like what would have happened if Clinton had been the Democratic nominee in 1984.

That's interesting, though obviously it would have been way too early. But it is something to see how much of a difference the Perot voters would have made in the results of this election, if they had consolidated behind either Clinton or Bush.

After 1856, The Republican Party Fell Apart after Several Newspapers accused them that they wanted to free slaves so they could take the position of Whites in the North. Due to this, the Whig Party is able to be revived if only for a short time as anti-Democrat while the Know-Nothings remain as popular as ever. In the election of 1860, John C. Breckenridge wins the Democratic Nomination and the Election handidly:

Breckenridge (D-KY)/Douglas (D-NJ): 171

President Mitt Romney / Vice President Paul Ryan - 370 EVs (54.1%)
Senator Bernie Sanders / Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard - 168 EVs (44.5%)

After a bitter contested convention between former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, former Vice President Joe Biden, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, former Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer, West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin, former Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley, Illinois Governor Pat Quinn, and other candidates, the Vermont Senator narrowly secured the Democratic nomination for himself.

At the convention, Sanders failed to unite the Democratic Party behind him and his running mate, Tulsi Gabbard. As a result, Romney took a strong lead in national polls and began reaching out to wealthy, "wine track," suburban Democrats who backed Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden, similarly to President Bill Clinton's suburban strategy in 1996 to win over rich and traditionally Republican voters.

In November of 2016, that strategy proved to be successful, with the Republican ticket of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan winning 370 electoral votes to Sanders' and Gabbard's 168 electoral votes.

I don't see how Sanders would lose New Hampshire or Maine since his base of support should be in the Northeast.

Welcome to Hell: Or, what if Brest-Livostk held.

Governor Frank Lowden (R-IL)/Senator Hiram Johnson (R-CA): 60.52%, 437 electoral votes
Governor James Cox (D-OH)/ Secretary William McAdoo (D-CA): 28.74%, 94 electoral votes
IWW Leader Eugene Debs (S-IN)/Seymour Stedman (S-IL): 6.82%, 0 electoral votes

The continuing war allowed Lowden to win an enormous victory, with the highest percent of the popular vote since Monroe, and a record setting 32 point popular vote margin. He set a record for electoral votes, and became the first republican since Reconstruction to win a confederate state.

Solicitor General John W. Davis (D-WV)/Senator Thomas Walsh (D-MT): 34.93%, 269 electoral votes
President Frank Lowden (R-IL)/Governor Gifford Pinchot (R-PA): 36.98%, 242 electoral votes
Senator Robert LaFollette Sr (P-WI)/Vice President Hiram Johnson (P-CA): 14.97%, 20 electoral votes
Chairman William Z. Foster (S-MA)/State Assemblyman Benjamin Gitlow (S-NY): 9.76%, 0 electoral votes

The recent end of the Great War loomed over the 1924 election, and in the end it was much of what doomed Lowden. Also important was his personal feud with Hiram Johnson, who ran on an Progressive ticket, and the contested vote in New York, considered by many to be rigged for Davis. Ultimately, despite a narrow popular vote loss, Davis won the oval office, which he would hold for the next 8 years. Also notable was the strikingly good performance of the Socialist ticket, headlined by Foster, beating out even Debs in 1920.

President John W. Davis (D-WV)/Vice President Thomas Walsh (D-MT): 39.04%, 328 electoral votes
Governor Gifford Pinchot (R-PA)/ Senator Charles Curtis (R-KS): 29.58%, 155 electoral votes
Senator Robert LaFollette Jr (P-WI)/Senator Henrik Shipstead (P-MN): 13.31%, 36 electoral votes
Chairman William Z. Foster (S-MA)/State Assemblyman Benjamin Gitlow (S-NY): 10.16%, 7 electoral votes
First Gentleman “Pa” Ferguson (U-TX)/Various: 7.81%, 5 electoral votes

President Davis, among a booming economy, won a solid plurality victory. The Republican party fell further in vote share, and a Union ticket headlined by James “Pa” Ferguson achieved unexpected success in South Dakota, along with Foster’s socialists in Montana and Nevada.


Six months after his second inauguration, the bottom fell out of the economy. The fractured republican party was unable to capitalize on the gains. The socialists, progressives, and unionists did not have that problem. By 1932, John Davis was besieged in the White House, unable to solve the problems ailing his nation. He flatly refused to run for a third term, although Garner, a Davis supporter, did win the nomination.

Governor Huey Long (U/P-LA))/Reverend Charles Coughlin (U-MI): 34.53%, 245 electoral votes
House Minority Leader John Nance Garner (D-TX)/Governor Albert Ritchie (D-MD): 21.32%, 31 electoral votes
Former President Frank Lowden (R-IL)/Senator Peter Norbeck (R-SD): 21.21%, 109 electoral votes
Governor Meyer London (S-NY)/Senator Upton Sinclair (S-CA): 17.66%, 142 electoral votes
Senator Gerald Nye (P-ND)/Representative William Lemke (P-MN): 5.23%, 4 electoral votes

The end result was something of a worst case scenario. Huey Long’s Union ticket had won the popular vote and electoral vote by pluralities, but it was left to Congress to elect both. Strong-arm tactics and mobs in the national mall managed to convince the house. The Senate was more obstinate. Forced by the Constitution to choose between Sinclair and Coughlin, they decided to shut down for the duration of the 73rd Congress. Long refused to stand for this. Senators began to turn up missing. Many of them had razor blade suicides. Not a soul was surprised when 1934 turned up resounding “majorities” for him in Congress. The 1936 election, such as it was, hardly needed to be held. He was endorsed by every major party, and no candidate besides him managed to win some much as 5% of the vote.

1912: A Socialist President?

The sudden death of President Taft and the assassination of Roosevelt by a white supremacist cause chaos among the left. The Progressive Party falls apart, and the Republicans are too split to nominate anyone. The only remaining candidate on the left is Eugene V. Debs. Without vote splitting among the left, he manages to win the election, despite many moderates voting for Wilson.

Fmr. State Senator Eugene V. Debs / Mayor Emil Seidel: 278 EV, 48.24%
Governor Woodrow Wilson / Governor Thomas R. Marshall: 253 EV, 47.86%

The closest states were New York, Indiana, Nebraska, Colorado, West Virginia, New Jersey, New Hampshire, New Mexico, and Maine.
