The Campaign Trail: Post Your Maps!

[Mr. Smith]

Since I'm bad at this, I went with easy.

1976 (I answered mostly in a way that would take California away from Ford, got a lot more than bargained for)

2000 (Get Gore his home state)

[Mr. Smith]

First: I stuck with Mondale for Carter, and switched to Graham for Gore

Now continuing (still on easy)

1896 [switched to Adlai Stevenson for Bryan]

1968 [switched to Fred Harris for Humphrey...no idea how but I managed to get a more liberal result out of South Carolina than North Carolina]

[Mr. Smith]

And finally, still on Easy, 2012 with Obama...did nothing but campaign in North Carolina, Missouri, and Montana....ended up changing one state from the actual results.

[Mr. Smith]

The basic package on Easy, I always run these on easy first.

Kennedy/Johnson 369 EV, 51.4% PV
Nixon/Lodge 154 EV, 48% PV
Unpledged 14 EV

[Mr. Smith]

Did 1844, lost the EV but won the popular...probably because I used Pennsylvania instead of New York.

Clay 156 EV
Polk 119 EV

And as for 1948, did better than the actual Truman and took New York.

Truman: 370 EV
Dewey: 123 EV
Thurmond: 38 EV

[Mr. Smith]

Dukakis/Gore: 280 EV, 50.2% PV
Bush/Quayle: 258 EV, 48.8%

And I did it without a Solid South nor the handy-dandy Nevada-Ohio bellwethers, New Mexico and Missouri still came through.

Now where are the Clinton years and 2004?

[Mr. Smith]

Been a while since I done this, but here's my current batch. All Democratic, and on Easy since I suck at this.

1860: I did slightly better as Douglas

Lincoln/Hamlin: 168 EV, 38.2%
Breckinridge/Lane: 72 EV, 19%
Bell: 39 EV, 13.4% PV
Douglas/Guthrie: 24 EV, 29.3% PV

1916: Lost California and some Midwest states, won Urban New England instead.

Wilson/Marshall: 271 EV, 48.2%
Hughes/Fairbanks: 260 EV, 46.4%

[Mr. Smith]

As for 2016a: Won by Wisconsin

Clinton/Booker: 275 EV, 49.2% PV
Trump: 263 EV, 47.6% PV

Guess that's what I get for trying to flip Utah.

[Mr. Smith]

Broke orthodoxy and played as trump...and all I got for sabotaging at every turn was the freiwal, what a rip-off.

Well here's the map anyway

Clinton: 335 EV, 50.7% PV
trump/CARSON: 206 EV, 46% PV

[Mr. Smith]

Ran as a liberal Dewey just for shiggles. Even Strom Thurmond did better.  It was beautiful.

Truman/Barkley: 459 ev, 52% pv
Thurmond/Wright: 38, 2.4% pv
Dewey/Stassen: 34 ev, 42% pv
Wallace/Taylor: 0, 2.8% pv
