Post Random Maps Here 2.0.

[America's Sweetheart ❤/𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕭𝖔𝖔𝖙𝖞 𝖂𝖆𝖗𝖗𝖎𝖔𝖗]

These are some elections in a book I am making and I will be starting this post from 1980. I will go until 2000 on this post, and my next post will be from 2004 to 2020. If you want to know more about the elections pre 1980 in my timeline, I will make more posts aside from these two in twenty year intervals or so (so like 1960 to 1976 or 1940 to 1956 and I think you get the idea from there) although it will probably be in reverse chronological order if you don't mind. Anyways here is the real maps.

--------

1980 Carter loses by a somewhat more respectable margin

Carter - 161 electoral votes 43 percent popular vote

Reagan - 363 electoral votes 46 percent popular vote

Anderson - 14 electoral votes 11 percent popular vote

I gave Carter every state he only lost by less than five percent in and since John Anderson died this month, and he was a truly good candidate in my opinion, I decided to be nice and let him get Massachusetts since he had his best showing there. Carter even then still loses by about 200 electoral votes.

-----

1984 Hart wins the nomination instead of Mondale

Reagan - 396 electoral votes 52 percent popular vote

Hart - 142 electoral votes 48 percent popular vote

------

1988

Dukakis actually wins this time

Dukakis - 280 electoral votes 50 percent popular vote

Bush - 268 electoral votes 50 percent popular vote

-----

1992 but a blow out

Clinton - 498 electoral votes 48 percent popular vote

Kevin (pretty much the Perot of my book) - 32 electoral votes 22 percent popular vote

Bush - 8 electoral votes 30 percent popular vote

I gave this Kevin guy every state that he earned at least 25 percent of the vote in while giving Clinton every state that Bush only won by less than percent with the exception of third party states giving what is in this universe only the third time a third party got second in the electoral college (in my book along with 1912 George Wallace does so as well)

-----

1996 Dole does better

Clinton - 291 electoral votes 51 percent popular vote

Dole - 247 electoral votes 49 percent popular vote

----

2000 results reversed

Gore - 271 electoral votes 47 percent popular vote

Bush - 267 electoral votes 48 percent popular vote

In this timeline, Bush wins the popular vote but loses the electoral college, so the opposite of real life

Gary Hart wins Kansas as he's being blown out nationally???

[P. Clodius Pulcher did nothing wrong]

1968

President Lyndon B. Johnson, D-Texas – 208 votes, 43.8%
Governor George Romney, R-Michigan – 264 votes, 42.5%
Fmr. Governor George Wallace, AI-Alabama – 66 votes, 13.7%

2,000 votes in Missouri (45.2%-45.0%) keep Romney from an electoral victory. House elects Johnson.

[America Needs a 13-6 Progressive SCOTUS]

If the House size after the 2010 census was increased so that no state lost seats from 2000.  OH-18 is the final seat assigned.  468 seats total.

I think Johnson would've done better than this.

I like this map. why does Gore win Missouri though?

Boosted support from rural whites, Gore runs a more populist campaign when running against Powell.

And I assume he also does better with rural whites because of Powell's race?

To supplement glorious Libertarian prophecy with Supreme Leader Johnson's election in 2020 with Right Honorable Eastwood as his VP.

Sen. Gary Johnson (L-NM)/Sen. Clint Eastwood (L-PA) - 538 electoral votes
Pres. Donald Trump (R-NY)/VP Mike Pence (R-IN) - 0
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT)/Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) - 0

Good question. I would imagine that D.C. would be fairly close, given that it's always voted for a Democrat. Somewhere along the lines of:

Johnson/Eastwood: 383,071 99.99%
Sanders/Warren: 3 00.01%
Trump/Pence: 1 00.001%

Pence defected and voted for the Sanders/Warren ticket, which provided the three votes for that ticket.

Many other states had a margin of 100% for Glorious Leader Johnson.

I see, this is more or less what I would've guessed. Johnson is unstoppable.

Despite facing a primary challenge from John Kasich, Donald Trump prevails in the Republican Party primary and manages to hold the party together. However, Democratic energy, fueled from the midterm wave, and the nomination of Elizabeth Warren results in a narrow loss for Trump.

Elizabeth Warren/Doug Jones: 284 (49.9%)
Donald Trump/Mike Pence: 254 (47.5%)

This seems reasonable to me. I'd think that having Jones on the ticket would be enough for Alabama and Tennessee to be R>50 instead of R>60 though.
