No Clinton, No Trump in 2016. Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump doesn't run for their parties in the election. The GOP selects Marco Rubio from Florida who beats a large GOP field in a contested convention and the Democrats select Vice-President Joe Biden from Florida who easily secures the party's nomination at the end of March. Running mates are Gov. Nikki Haley from South Carolina and HUD Sec. Julian Castro from Texas. Lincoln Chaffee runs as an Independent, participates in the debates but receives 0 electoral votes.

Sen. Marco A. Rubio (R-FL)/Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC) 282 43.87%
VP Joseph R. "Joe" Biden Jr (D-DE)/Sec. HUD Julian Castro (D-TX) 256 40.23%
Fmr Gov. Lincoln D. Chaffee (I-RI) Fmr Sen. Joseph I. "Joe" Lieberman (I-CT) 0 7.4%

Who got the other 8.5% of the vote? Mostly Johnson?

Heidi Heitkamp/Jim Hood(D) v. Ileana Ros-Lehtinehen/Olympia Snowe(R)

[Kingpoleon]

I started with the 2016 map and changed either state by a random amount from -3 to 3. How would it actually happen?

Governor Jim Hood/Representative Mark Begich v. Governor Dino Rossi/Senator Susan Collins.

This looks like some combination of 1916, 1976, and 2016.

I'm flabbergasted as to what Republican could win DC.

David Catania/Phil Scott?

[Kingpoleon]

1948 merged with 2016, gray states are states that would flip from a 0% pv margin to the average pv margin of the two elections.

I'd guess the tickets were:
Mike Beebe/Henry Cuellar v. Phil Scott/Susan Collins v. Tim Scott/Chris McDaniel
