I flipped as many states as I could; ND and SD stay R because too hard to flip them without making a very tiny state.

New England stays D because too much packing.

Alaska and Hawaii stay R/D because they are non-contiguous.

DC stays D because I felt like leaving it alone.

Proof

What a beautiful mess.

Here's a new one. This is a map of the 1992 election, if all of the Bill Clinton + Ross Perot votes were combined together. As you can tell, it would be a Democratic landslide:

Governor William Jefferson Clinton (D-AR)/Senator Albert Gore, Jr. (D-TN)-530 EV-61.92%
President George H.W. Bush (R-TX)/Vice President Danforth Quayle (R-IN)-8 EV-37.45%

I might make an alternate scenario, perhaps involving alternate candidates, with this map later on.

If Clinton had actually won the PV by this margin in real life, there's no way Mississippi would be the last state to vote for him. very neat map though, and I might make a county map for it.

All African American majority counties are moved to their own state, represented by WY, which is merged into MT.

How are Mississippi and Alabama only R>60% when you remove all their majority black counties?

2016 if the result of the state mirrored that of the largest county.

Clinton/Kaine 477
Trump/Pence 61

Same thing, but of the smallest county:

Trump/Pence 391
Clinton/Kaine 147

Always nice to see a belt of Atlas red stretching from LA to SC.

[REDACTED] successfully pushes through the 29th amendment, abolishing the electoral college. However, third parties don't get much steam in this election.

Murkowski wins the R nomination and chooses Susan Collins to be her running mate.

Map of where candidates got a majority of votes.


[REDACTED]/Khanna: 54.23%
Murkowski/Collins: 45.36%

NH, AK, IN, KS, ND, and SD are the closest states toward giving a majority to the other candidate.


the solid south... and appalachia... and...

2050's Electoral Map

The GOP has evolved into a fiscally-conservative, pro-business, socially-libertarian party in the decades following their repudiation of Trump after 2024

The Democrats have evolved into a fiscally-liberal, neo-distributist, socially-populist party akin to the CDU in the decades following the unlikely election of John Bel Edwards in 2024

Grey states are tossups

TITANIUM D Oklahoma

Not originally, but idk, you veterans here likely have a better idea on how that trend would be extrapolated than I would.

Well, if West Virginia and Tennessee are D>60%, I don't see why Oklahoma wouldn't be a Democratic state at that point.

2020: Mr. Drumpf, you're fired!

✓ Former Vice President Joe Biden (D-DE)/Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA): 413 EVs.; 53.5%
President Donald Trump (R-NY)/Vice President Mike Pence (R-IN): 125 EVs.; 45.2%

I love how Texas gives Biden a majority of the vote while Ohio and North Carolina only give him pluralities.

Jesus Christ/Ghandi (D) vs. Adolf Hitler/Satan (R)?

Independent with maxed stats and moderate stance on everything vs. Democrat with stances unpopular at the time on most things and 1/9 rating on the 3 skills vs. Republican incumbent with 25% inflation, 25% unemployment and -10 rating for economic growth. This is 1988 in President Elect 1988. Who could be the tickets for Independent, Republican, and Democratic?

PV was 52-38-10 with Democrats last.

What state(s) did the Democrat come closest to winning here?

By 2116, the Republican Party has long since dissolved and been replaced by the National Latino Conservatives, lead by Ricardo Ramirez (NLC-FL), the party is essentially fiscally liberal and socially conservative, with a strong Catholic influence. The New Democratic Party, lead by Stephanie Moore (NDP-WV) is primarily socially moderate and fiscally centre-right with strong working class influence. in the 2116 election, incumbent President Ricardo Ramirez was in the midst of a crisis as it was revealed that he had an affair with a porn star and forced her to get an abortion, this, on top of the largest recession since the Great Depression, lead to Ms. Moore winning in a historic landslide, with Ramirez only holding onto the core NLC states of California, New Mexico, Hawaii, and Columbia State (Modern day DC). Moore won the popular vote by a historic 67-32 margin and captured 471 electoral votes to Ramirez's 67. This was the worst performance for a NLC candidate in history, and the second worst performance for any candidate, after Dennis Hastert's disastrous campaign in 2000 which ended with him being exposed as a pedophile and his opponent (Joe Lieberman) winning all 50 states and 79% of the PV.

A world where the solid D south stayed solid somehow into the modern day. Candidates are made up

2016

Vice Pres. Lisa Matlock (D-Tennessee) / Sen. David VerHeulen (D-Michigan) • 270 votes, 49.6%
Sen. Darin Lawrence (R-Arizona) / Mayor Gisela Perdomo (R-New York) • 268 votes, 49.6%

If the South stayed solid, Georgia wouldn't be going Republican and neither would Texas. also Alabama and South Carolina wouldn't be this close.

Here's a reversal of the scenario which I posted earlier. This is what the 1992 election would have looked like if all of the people who had voted for Ross Perot had gone for George H.W. Bush instead. Bush would win a landslide victory, though his percentage of the popular vote would be lower than Clinton's in the prior scenario. By my estimation, he loses New York by just 0.10% and Maryland by only 63 votes! Clinton, of course, still wins his home state of Arkansas, the only state which gave any candidate an absolute majority in OTL, as well as the always-Democratic D.C.:

President George H.W. Bush (R-TX)/Vice-President Danforth Quayle (R-IN)-486 EV-56.36%
Governor William Jefferson Clinton (D-AR)/Senator Albert Gore, Jr. (R-TN)-52 EV-43.01%

This looks like what would have happened if Clinton had been the Democratic nominee in 1984.

Why do Vermont, Maine, and Rhode Island have no EVs?

..So much for Bernie being perfect in the Interior and Obama being great for California

This compares how Obama did in the '08 primary to how Sanders did in the 2016 primary, right?

President Mitt Romney / Vice President Paul Ryan - 370 EVs (54.1%)
Senator Bernie Sanders / Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard - 168 EVs (44.5%)

After a bitter contested convention between former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, former Vice President Joe Biden, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, former Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer, West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin, former Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley, Illinois Governor Pat Quinn, and other candidates, the Vermont Senator narrowly secured the Democratic nomination for himself.

At the convention, Sanders failed to unite the Democratic Party behind him and his running mate, Tulsi Gabbard. As a result, Romney took a strong lead in national polls and began reaching out to wealthy, "wine track," suburban Democrats who backed Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden, similarly to President Bill Clinton's suburban strategy in 1996 to win over rich and traditionally Republican voters.

In November of 2016, that strategy proved to be successful, with the Republican ticket of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan winning 370 electoral votes to Sanders' and Gabbard's 168 electoral votes.

I don't see how Sanders would lose New Hampshire or Maine since his base of support should be in the Northeast.

2020 Presidential Election Scenario 1

2020 Presidential Election Results:
Donald Trump/Mike Pence: 355 Electoral Votes (53% of Popular Vote) WINNER
Elizabeth Warren/Cory Booker: 183 Electoral Votes (45% of Popular Vote)

Is this a serious prediction?

Wanted to do a map where Democrats are blue and Republicans are red for once. Please forgive any eye bleeding that I may have caused by switching the party colors.

Also I reposted this for the purpose of breaking up the argument occurring in the *MAPS* thread and hopefully cause it to end.

Pence even loses his home state? savage!

Come on guys, this is a thread for maps. please stop arguing and derailing it.


Anyway, here's a map:

1964

John F. Kennedy/Lyndon B. Johnson (D) 55% popular vote, 409 electoral votes
Nelson Rockefeller/William Scranton (R) 42% popular vote, 100 electoral votes
Ross Barnett/Strom Thurmond (SR) 2.8% popular vote, 24 electoral votes
