I played as Obama 2012 on easy and made him lose in a landslide on purpose. I stopped in Ohio every time to see how much more Democratic I could get the state compared to the national average. I was able to make Ohio almost exactly 2% more Democratic than the nation as a whole.

Romney 352
Obama 186

A noticeable bug is that Obama won NE-02 and Romney won ME-02 when looking at the state results. Probably an oversight.

I came within 0.3% of winning Connecticut of all states.

I ran as Obama on Easy and picked random answers and only visited Texas.

I lost by a 321-217 margin. I only barely won MN and I lost NV, CO, IA, WI, OH, PA, NH, VA and FL from the actual 2012 election.

Don't ask me how I got this 2012 map.

I played as Obama on Easy trying to win NC while making an actual Obama 2012 state other than Florida vote Romney at the same time, I got more than I bargained for. Romney won the game as the House would've voted for him but had Romney gotten 700 more votes in PA he would've won outright.

Reversed Atlas colors to do it how the game (and everywhere else) does it.

Got this kinda strange but not really 315-223 Romney map playing as the Delecto himself.

I love playing 2012 as I find that one to be the most elastic and gives the wildest results from time to time.

Played a 2012 game with Romney on Normal. I spent half the game gunning for Pennsylvania and it paid off. I won Pennsylvania by half a percent. Interestingly, I came even closer to losing Ohio as I only won that by 0.3%, I only won Colorado by 0.2% but that state didn't matter. Overall, I'm proud of myself.

PS: I won the popular vote by 0.08%, Making it the closest popular vote win in American history.

282-256

Romney on Easy. Went for the best answer on the first 7 questions. (Tip: The first 7 questions might be in a different order, But the same questions are the first 7 so you want to know the best answers to these 7 if you want to be on track to win) but picked the bottom question for the rest of them knowing it could lead to horrible consequences. And......

331-207

Did very well. One of my best playing as Romney in fact.

Did the same thing for Obama and.....

286-252

I won......but nowhere near as successful as Romney's round. I gunned for Ohio the entire time and that turned out to be the right choice as I won that state by just 1.3% and I would've lost the election had I not won Ohio.

Did the same as the above but with Gore. Picked Bayh as running mate and gunned for Indiana.

382-156

Hillary Clinton  211  28.5%
Donald Trump  197  35.7%
Gary Johnson  130  35.8%
By messing around with the game and spamming options that increase Libertarian Support, I managed to get a deadlocked EC in the new 2016 scenario playing as Hillary. The result said this: "No candidate secured a majority in the Electoral College. However, the Republicans won a majority in Congress and will elevate Trump to the Presidency. Time will tell how things go in that regard. As for you, a long and sometimes ambiguous political career seems to be coming to its end."

Trump winning Delaware.

How I wish that could happen this year so I can see even Biden's home state blow up in his face!
