Take a guess at this one.  The election year is obvious, but what method did I use to produce this map?

You combined Debs and Roosevelt's votes.

Vermont won't go before Minnesota or Delaware, regardless of how white it is.

except in OK, where it was added to Tafts?

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

Nobody?

Sorry, I've no clue what it could be.

Ok, it's basically:
yellow: states with Hispanic plurality/majority precincts, 30% shade indicates a single precinct in the whole state.
blue: black plurality/majority precincts, 30% shade indicates a single precinct in the whole state.
red: Asian plurality/majority precincts, 30% shade indicates a single precinct in the whole state.
green: native American plurality/majority precincts, 30% shade indicates a single precinct in the whole
blue: VT+NH are the only states which have no non-white plurality/majority precincts

Colours are non-political, have to do with demographics and precincts.

How can AZ and NC each have only one native American plurality precinct?

Any guesses?

Any guesses?

How many times the Dems have won without each state.

[Snowstalker's Last Stand]

The number of times a Democrat has won while losing that state.

[Mechaman]

Both correct gentlemen.

Huckabee: 61

[Snowstalker's Last Stand]

Unless Obama is in the low 40's, he should be doing WAY better than that.

[OAM]

Yeah, if you don't mind, here's my take on the scenario.  Granted, it's basically handwaved that Huckabee is suddenly in.  NHI probably had more backstory to his map.



Obama:  431
Romney:  71
Huckabee:  36

[Gass3268]

I could even see Obama winning Mississippi and South Carolina because of the big percentage of African Americans along with the split Republican vote.

[Oldiesfreak1854]

How do you adjust the electoral vote numbers?

[Kitteh]

Wallace 33.53
Nixon 33.42
Humphrey 32.72

Wallace 155
Nixon 227
Humphrey 156

Despite winning the popular vote by a hair, George Wallace comes in third in the electoral college because of poor vote distribution (failing to win a single non-southern state).

[Kitteh]

Following up on my last post:



34.03 Wallace
32.17 Nixon
30.57 Humphrey

199 Wallace
183 Nixon
156 Humphrey

This is the minimum required for Wallace to win an EC plurality, using uniform national swing away from Nixon and Humphrey and to Wallace. Swing is -11.25 from both Humphrey and Nixon and +22.5 to Wallace.

Closest States:
Missouri- Wallace +0.27%
Ohio- Wallace +0.33%
Nevada- Nixon +0.46
Alaska- Wallace+0.54%
