I call this: McMullin screws everything up

Hillary wins PA and MI by tiny margins. McMullin wins by a few thousand votes in Utah.
Electoral Vote count:
Clinton/Kaine: 268
Trump/Pence: 264
McMullin/Finn: 6
Senate Chooses Pence, H.R. chooses Trump in a 32-17 vote (Maine is a tossup), assuming all representatives are 100% partisan.

What do the Senate and House elections look like in this scenario?

Basically the same, all that happened differently was that just a few thousand people who sat home in MI and PA voted Democrat and maybe lower Trump turnout in Utah to land McMullin a win.

Bernie VS Trump 2016
I took the polling of Bernie vs Trump in May 2016 and then brought Trump and Sanders up by the same # of points as the two candidates did in reality (+1.3R, +3.0 Dem) I then did a similar MoE as to what happened in reality. (-1.2 Dem,+2.5 Rep)
That leaves us with a whopping spread of 8.4%. As much of a Bernie lover as I am, that's highly unlikely. However, I still mapped it.

Senator Bernard Sanders/Senator Elizabeth Warren: 51.5%, 411 EV
Businessman Donald J. Trump/Governor Michael Pence: 43.1%, 121 EV
Former Policy Director Evan McMullin/Businesswoman Mandy Finn: .6%, 6 EV
Former Governor Gary Johnson/Former Governor Bill Weld: 3.7%, 0 EV
Attorney Darrell Castle/Businessman Scott Bradley: .4%, 0 EV
Others: .7%
Jill Stein doesn't even get 4th place due to most of her base going to Bernie. Bernie's nomination gets the farther right of america to vote in great plains states, causing Castle to get a commanding 4th place. Bernie splits more votes with Trump in Utah over economic issues, allowing McMullin to win. Alaska very nearly goes to Johnson.

Something completely random that I thought could interest at least someone here.



A short explanation: me and a few friends from abroad have long been writing buddies, and about a year ago we created our own world, first with one continent, and each of us made his own unique nation(s) with complex and different cultural characteristics. Mine is Kedumia, an island nation which already started fairly progressive in the medieval setting we first wrote in. Women were almost equal even back then (think Dorne in asoiaf), and while there obviously weren't any lgbt rights, there was a certain tolerance of it (think ancient Greece). Now, we decided to write in modern settings, which could be equated to WW1 in our world, so I finally got the chance to write some politics.

Basically the Kedumian electoral system resembles a mash of Britain and Israel, with a King (titled "Nasie"- posters with some Hebrew knowledge will understand why) as a figurehead and a Prime Minister leading the government. The Kedumian Senate has 330 seats- 110 are constituency seats, which you can see in this map, and 220 are distributed through a national vote to party lists.
Here are the full election results:

Results of the Parliamentary Election, 2938 AU
Liberal Party- 101 Seats (77 National, 24 Constituency)
Conservative Party- 81 Seats (60 National, 21 Constituency)
Social Democratic Party- 54 Seats (37 National, 17 Constituency)
Traditionalist Party- 26 Seats (15 National, 11 Constituency)
Mountain and Sea Party- 24 Seats (15 National, 9 Constituency)
Birathari Heritage Party- 15 Seats (1 National, 14 Constituency)
Socialist Worker’s Party-13 Seats (8 National, 5 Constituency)
Ryvog’s Frontier Party- 11 Seats (2 National, 9 Constituency)
People’s National Front Party- 5 Seats (5 National, 0 Constituency)

The Coalition:
Liberal Party (101 Seats) + Social Democratic Party (54 Seats) + Mountain and Sea Party (24 Seats) = 179 SEATS

The Opposition:
Conservative Party (81 Seats) + Traditionalist Party (26 Seats) + Birathari Heritage Party (15 Seats) + Socialist Worker’s Party (13 Seats) + Ryvog’s Frontier Party (11 Seats) + People’s National Front Party (5 Seats) = 151 SEATS

If there's any demand, I'd be glad to expand on the parties, their platforms and the meanings, other elections etc.

please do.

From a President-Elect 1988 simulation

2020: Popular Junior SC Senator [NAME REDACTED BECAUSE IT'S ME] wins the primary on a progressive platform, and chooses VT Senator Bernie Sanders as his running mate. Trump continually shoots himself in the foot, especially at debates. Once election night comes, [REDACTED] is ahead in even traditionally GOP states, but by the end of election night, he does even better than expected.

[REDACTED]/Sanders: 521 EV, 58.8%
Trump/Pence: 17 EV, 41.9%

Oklahoma is closest, decided by 12,000 votes.

[GM Team Member and Deputy PPT WB]

continuing on the President-elect 1988 scenario

2024 election

Popular incumbent president [REDACTED] runs for re-election. however, VP Sanders does not want to be on the ticket, citing his declining health. [REDACTED] chose 2-term representative Richard Ojeda
(WV-03) as his VP, attempting to solidify his Rust Belt base, although this did anger some within the party, due to him Ojeda voting for Trump back in 2016. With [REDACTED] winning the EC in a landslide in 2020, he feels safe to move to the left on several issues.

Marco Rubio wins the R primary and selects Utah Senator and 2012 Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney as his running mate.

Rubio had essentially no chance, with [REDACTED] having high 50's to low 60's approval rating, etc.

[REDACTED]/Ojeda: 56.33%, ~480 EV
Rubio/Romney: 46.42%, ~60 EV

ND and NH are decided by only 3,000 votes. Utah surprisingly is one of the closest states.

[GM Team Member and Deputy PPT WB]

oh boy it's another president-elect map

[REDACTED] kicks Ojeda off the ticket for being "too socially conservative", replacing him with Senator Ro Khanna, who was elected after Feinstein resigned due to health concerns. [REDACTED]  gets the 28th amendment passed, which repeals the 22nd amendment. This is seen as highly authoritarian by many, but those who already supported him were happy with the change. [REDACTED] promised to try and push a 29th amendment, which would completely remove the electoral college.

Republicans nominate Senator Tom Cotton for president, who chooses SD Senator John Thune for his VP.

President [REDACTED]/Senator Ro Khanna: 54.75%, ~410 EV
Senator Tom Cotton/Senator John Thune: 44.76%, ~120 EV

Cotton's loss in SD was the biggest shocker of the night.


Closest states:
SD: 124 votes
NH: 1,742 votes
LA: 2,131 votes
WY: 3,137 votes
GA: 5,839 votes
ND: 7,177 votes
MT: 7,504 votes
NV: 8,236 votes
AL: 8,967 votes
MS: 9,291 votes
SC: 11,400 votes
KS: 12,391 votes
VA: 13,339 votes
TX: 26,900 votes

2032

[REDACTED] successfully pushes through the 29th amendment, abolishing the electoral college. However, third parties don't get much steam in this election.

Murkowski wins the R nomination and chooses Susan Collins to be her running mate.

Map of where candidates got a majority of votes.


[REDACTED]/Khanna: 54.23%
Murkowski/Collins: 45.36%

NH, AK, IN, KS, ND, and SD are the closest states toward giving a majority to the other candidate.

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.

Based off a 2016 game from here: https://www.americanhistoryusa.com/campaign-trail/

Former Sec. of State Hillary Clinton / Senator Cory Booker: 354 EV
Mr. Donald Trump / : 184 EV

Clinton embraces several progressive positions, and even goes as far as to pledge to only serve one term. Trump collapses at a rally only days before the election, causing many to question his health. Closest states are Utah (8,000 votes), Alaska, Montana, Arizona, Texas, Georgia, Indiana, and SC.

Supplementing my dumb meme presidents thing

2036:
Senator Leigh (OK) / Governor Emily Peebleton (NC)
VP Nikki Haley / Representative Elise Stefanik (NY)

2040:
Governor Laura "Koopette" (IA) / Governor Joanna Campbell (IL)
President Leigh (OK) / Vice President Emily Peebleton (NC)

2044:
President Laura "Koopette" (IA) / Vice President Joanna Campbell (IL)
IDK two centrists or something

2048
Former VP Peebs / Senator Weather Boy
VP Joanna Campbell / Governor W.X. Transit

The election comes down to SC, which, thanks to the selection of popular senator Weather Boy as VP, goes to Peebs by only 4,973 votes.


that's it for now.

2016

Donald Trump (D-NY)/Mike Pence (D-IN) 318 EVs
Hillary Clinton (R-NY)/Tim Kaine (R-VA) 220 EVs

lol what? If Trump ran as a Democrat he wouldn't be winning Wyoming or Idaho, and probably not Alabama or Oklahoma either.

ur missing the point lol

Atlasian Presidential Election June 2018 if it was with the US Electoral College

House Speaker N.C. Yankee (NC) / Representative Doof (TX): 344 EV
Representative Ninja (NJ) / Governor AZ (MA): 182 EV
Senator Lumine (UT) / Former Senator Siren (NV): 12 EV

The progressive wing of the Democrats is split between the more Neoliberal Ninja and the Unity ticket of the Conservative Lumine and the Progressive Siren. Due to this, the more libertarian ticket of NCY/DFW wins easily.

[GM Team Member and Deputy PPT WB]

Senator Lumine (UT) / Former Governor Siren (NV): 12 EV

She's an ex-Senator.

Sorry, got her confused with Kamala I think
