All right, basically this is similar to Cathcon's elections, but this is for a timeline I am writing. Every election will be held this way so basically you all choose the President and I write for and around that.  By the Way, I have Cathcon's approval for this, so it's all good.

Here's some of the big points of the timeline from start to now:

-Benedict Arnold is killed in an explosion while meeting with the British. No one knows of his traitor activities and no one finds the bodies of the British Generals.

-The US wins the war regardless, able to be more diplomatic.

-General Washington is assassinated by an unknown figure, to be revealed later on.


Adams is the early favorite according to most, however Thomas Jefferson has announced his intentions to run. There are no parties as of yet, but that will come by 1792.

Will either one of these men win, or will there be a surprise in the EC?

Thanks for the homage. Smiley I'm wondering if there should be two votes per person, as people used to have two votes for president, but whatever.

I'm doing two different threads for President/VP, since each elector had 2 back then.

I'll wait until I close this one for that, it'll be short compared to this one.

And no problem, you gave me the idea for this after all!

I played John Hancock in 1776 several years ago. So I went with him figuring Jefferson was probably leading.
