Clinton:
68,965,524 Votes
52.32%
332 Electoral Votes

Trump:
58,893,945
44.68%
206 Electoral Votes

I got this result



Carter:
41,128,124 Votes
49.95%
344 or 345 Electoral Votes depending on if Maine splits

Ford:
39,663,458 Votes
48.18%
193 or 194 Electoral Votes depending on if Maine splits

New Jersey was ridiculously close, decided by only 277 votes of 3,083,856 total.
Considering Maine was decided by only 5,022 votes of 475,906 total, Ford might have taken a Congressional District electoral vote but the application will not tell me whether or not that was the case.

I got this result



Lincoln:
1,878,902 Votes
39.86%
181 Electoral Votes

Douglas:
1,380,886 Votes
29.30%
11 Electoral Votes

Bell:
580,349 Votes
12.31%
39 Electoral Votes

Breckenridge:
873,395 Votes
18.53%
72 Electoral Votes

Lincoln won New Jersey, however, 2 of the states 7 electoral votes went to Douglas.

I got this result

Hillary Clinton:
347 Electoral Votes
70,465,651 Votes
53.41%

Donald Trump:
191 Electoral Votes
58,032,233 Votes
43.99%

This seems to be the best I am capable of doing in this game.  I made several attempt to win these states + Arizona and it never works.  I also cannot seem to get the popular vote margin up to the double digit percentile range.

For those who have not realized it yet, the maps I post here are clickable - they send you to the game archive page.

Winning the popular vote as Hughes in 1916 seems impossible, and winning the electoral college still seems very hard.

Why not hyperlink the campaign trail game url into the image itself?

Tried picking all the most Conservative sounding options as Gerald Ford, ended up losing in a landslide.

Intentionally tried to pick the most conservative options available.

Alaska decided by 48 votes.

I won a few times with Hughes on Normal by running a progressive anti-war campaign, but lost the popular vote regardless every time.

Modified difficulty of Stephen Douglas to 3.0 (makes it realistic to win outright but can probably still lose with this type of modifier):

It would be nice if they had scenarios for every year 1984 through 2016.
