Correct. (admitted, not founded, though)

That's the first county's results in each state (going in alphabetical order).

Yep.  The more dense, the more red.  Red is > 65 per mi^2, and blue is < 65 per mi^2.

Not bad... that's probably about how it would turn out.

Close.  It has to do with 1992 and Perot though.

I'll give you a hint.  The national popular vote for this scenario is:

Clinton: 53.04%
Bush: 46.18%

I can also give results per state and county.

Clinton chooses Perot as his running mate? 

Perot endorses Clinton and drops out for good?

It's a variant of the final result, so it's concrete.

You basically have it.  It's the results without any of Perot's votes.  It surprised me how close it is with only a few states with over 60%.

Perot only managed 2nd place in Utah and Maine, so it shouldn't change all that much.

The Perot Factor was that he swung quite a few states to Clinton by splitting the conservative/libertarian vote and causing Bush to spend time and money in otherwise friendly territory.

^^^So that's potentially the result if Dukakis never rode the tank.

I doubt if anyone will get this (many bonus points if you do.  What causes this to happen (and yes this is a statistical trend, not made up):

Ignore Alaska, Hawaii, and DC

1960:



1964:



1968:



1972:



I'll start giving hints for every day that you guys don't get it.

Is it continuing the trend started between the 1952 and 1956 elections?

Wow, you get a lot of bonus points in my book.  Yeah, I took the 1956 Republican results in a state, and divided it by the 1952 result.  Then, I took the trend number and multiplied it by the 1956 results to get 1960, then again and again and again for each following year.  I only did this with the Republicans.  I just pretended that Democrats and Republicans were the only candidates, so if the Republicans didn't win it, the Democrats would.  That acoc**nts for the distortion in South Carolina and Mississippi (Republicans percent dropped in 1956 because of unpledged electors).
