The other day on Discord I launched a comparison between some real life electorates in the US, and some US states.
My conclusion was that the electorate in Atlasia most closely resembles that of states like Vermont (55D-30R), Maryland (55D-25R) or Hawaii (54D-29R)
While real life comparisons can only really take you so far and often they fail, it is worth noting that in real life the first 2 states actually have Republican governors (and both elected in landslides)
So why have Federalists been unable to win for a long time? Is there no suitable candidate like the R governors of those 2 states? Is it because of the online nature of the game? Is it something else?
Those states have something called vote splitting, which doesn't happen in Atlasia much anymore.
Larry Hogan got 51% in 2014 (and 55% in 2018) though.
