1916 United States Presidential Election

[Maxwell]

So Atlas chooses a war monger who almost certainly would've started the causation of World War II, just like President Wilson.

[JWHart]

Given that over 2/3rds of the people voted for anti-war candidates, I don't think Roosevelt has the votes in Congress to join the war.

[Supersonic]

Absolutely fantastic result!

Finally a decent Republican after the grim days of holding my nose for LaFollette.

Perhaps we should start doing Senate elections as well, because by this point they were all directly elected anyway.

So about the 1920 primaries and the 1916 map?

So about the 1920 primaries and the 1916 map?

Or the 1916 map and House vote...

[Kitteh]

Sorry, Cathcon, not to put too much pressure on you, but I would like to know whether or not this goes to a house vote.

[Incipimus iterum]

if Maurer or Clark was in Roosevelt's position would we want a house vote?

[Lief 🗽]

Why would it go to a House vote? Roosevelt would have likely won nearly all the non-Southern states with this vote distribution.

This. Plus we had much closer margins than that without a House vote.

Roosevelt did not receive a majority! It must go to the House! Go Germany! Bismarck's dream shall live on!

Fighting Bob didn't receive a majority in the 1908 election

[Vazdul (Formerly Chairman of the Communist Party of Ontario)]

Yeah, this one's over. Sadly, the warmongers won.

[Gass3268]

Roosevelt is illegitimate! LaFollette was illegally denied the Republican nomination. He was a friend to the German. Germans across America burn your draft cards! Resist the the future war!

With American support the Allies will create a New World order, that encourages Democracy.

[Lief 🗽]

The map would look something like this IMO, clear Roosevelt EV victory only kept somewhat close by the Solid South being out of reach:

New World Order! New World Order! New World Order!

Anyways, I'll echo Gass' statements.

I would like to add that I encourage everyone to resist the war through direct action.

The Germans after all did try to Encourage The Mexicans to attack the US promising them the lost Territory from the Mexican American war

TR has won the election. That doesn't mean the election won't go to the House, but like in 1824, the House election will not happen with assistance from the citizenry.

Makes sense -- assuming the same electorate as before I'd think most of Ford's voters go to Teddy anyway.

The 1916 United States Presidential Election
Former President Theodore Roosevelt was thrust into a third term with a scant 36% of the popular vote. With three major anti-war candidates on the ballot gaining significant portions of the popular vote, "TR" was given a third term with the lowest amount of the vote ever garnered without going to a House vote.

Former President Theodore Roosevelt (Republican-New York)/Senator George Norris (Republican-Nebraska) 384 electoral votes, 35.8% of the popular vote
House Minority Leader James Beauchamp "Champ" Clark (Democrat-Missouri)/Senator Thomas R. Marshall (Democrat-Indiana) 93 electoral votes, 26.4% of the popular vote
Party Chairman James Hudson Maurer (Socialist-Pennsylvania)/Mr. George Ross Kirkpatrick (Socialist-New Jersey) 54 electoral votes, 26.4% of the popular vote
Mr. Henry Ford (Prohibition-Michigan)/Former Governor William Sulzer (Prohibition-New York) 0 electoral votes, 11.3% of the popular vote
