An independent for president - Designated Survivor Edition

✓ President Thomas Kirkman: 298 EV.
Democratic nominee: 161 EV.
Republican nominee: 79 EV.

This is how a Independent third party can win. So, don't let anyone tell you that an Independent can't win the EC.

An independent can't win the EC.

2028 Presidential Election

Senator Stacey Abrams (DEM-GA) / Governor Ben McAdams (DEM-UT)

President Todd Young (REP-IN) / Vice President Kirstjen Nielsen (REP-CO)

Congressman Lee Carter (SOC-VA) / Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib (DEM-MI)

> Virginia voting Republican while Georgia and Texas vote Democratic

Democratic vote splitting and progressive economics pushes the Fairfax area into the GOP column, and NC and GA go Democratic because of high minority turnout. It's why the lily-white and progressive-cities-with-affleunt-suburbs Oregon and Washington drop down to the >40% range.

But the trends that would cause Texas and Georgia to vote Democratic would also ensure that Virginia remains in the Democratic column, so I think if she's losing VA she should be losing Texas and Georgia... oh and North Carolina too.

Hypothetical Brett Kavanaugh Recall Election Results:

I agree this would be the map...

If a tape surfaced of him raping a woman.

George Wallace (D-AL) - 219 Electoral Votes
Ross Perot (R-TX) - 219 Electoral Votes
John Anderson (I-IL) - 100 Electoral Votes

I assume this is based on how each candidate did in a given state as compared to their share of the national PV?

Horrific nightmare I had last night, 2020.

1956: only Black votes count

Stevenson 61% / 384 EV
Eisenhower 39% / 147 EV

Where did you find the data for this? Also I would think the number of black votes in the Deep South would be too small to measure.


Oh, and how did Stevenson dominate with blacks in Vermont and Maine, given that Eisenhower cleared 70% in both states?

Al Franken's predictions for the 1988 election.


Heres the source: https://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/weekend-update-segment---al-frankens-electoral-map/n9717

This was a pretty sensible prediction, although I would have flipped Ohio instead of Texas.

Pres. Harry S Truman (D of MO) - 259 votes, 49.5%
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey (R of NY) - 234 votes, 44.6%
Gov. Strom Thurmond (D of SC) - 38 votes, 2.7%
Former VP Henry A. Wallace (D of IA) - 0 votes, 3.2%

vs. real life:

I think this would make Thurmond the only third party in history to win at least two states, and all of them with an absolute majority of the vote

I think there was another segregationist third party candidate who won at least two states...
