It's funny how the only election where we voted for Jackson was also the only he didn't win in OTL.

[Mr. Smith]

Huh, and here I thought only Marin and Santa Cruz Counties had the capacity to atone for mistakes in 1980 as they too switched from Reagan to Mondale...I don't think there are any other counties that did that.

Also, -insert a joke about how if Atlas all voted in '72 Nixon wouldn't have been re-elected here-

And we voted like Michigan during the Roosevelt bit....no kidding.

[Flake]

Freedom series (normal)

[politicus]

FDR making a 1944 comeback after losing to Wilkie in 1940 is quaint.

[Maxwell]

We actually voted for Wilkie? BOO. HP.

You thought about doing run-offs in the elections where nobody got a majority?

[ElectionsGuy]

You thought about doing run-offs in the elections where nobody got a majority?

Just where candidates tied, which luckily was only one time. If it was lack of a majority I would be doing a lot of runoffs.
