RFayette/Santander (R): 315"All socon all the time"
CXSmith/Ascott (D): 132"Make America left-libertarian
again"
JustinTimeCuber/West_Midlander (I): 91"Noobs are a higher life form"
CXSmith easily wins the Democratic primary, but for no explained reason, a Missouri congressman from the 2nd district, JustinTimeCuber, starts an independent bid. He is able to make significant inroads into CXSmith's base by running to his left on economic issues. He is able to win a sizable number of electoral votes from several areas around the country. He wins CA and OR because of his heavy focus on those states and his progressive platform being popular in big CA cities and in the progressive Portland urban area. He wins MO because of his ties to the state and focused efforts there, and NC because neither of the other candidates has great appeal there and because of his VP.
Even though the two liberal candidates got a combined popular vote total of 57%, JTC's national 18% total caused a spoiler effect that gave RFayette, who only got 41% of the vote, the victory. #NotMyPresident
